Psalms, 148
All creatures are invited to praise their Creator.
Laudate Dominum de caelis.
[1] Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise ye him in the high places. •
[2] Praise ye him, all his angels, praise ye him, all his hosts. •
[3] Praise ye him, O sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars and light. •
[4] Praise him, ye heavens of heavens: and let all the waters that are above the heavens •
[5] Praise the name of the Lord. For he spoke, and they were made: he commanded, and they were created. •
[6] He hath established them for ever, and for ages of ages: he hath made a decree, and it shall not pass away. •
[7] Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all ye deeps: •
[8] Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy winds, which fulfil his word: •
[9] Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars: •
[10] Beasts and all cattle: serpents and feathered fowls: •
[11] Kings of the earth and all people: princes and all judges of the earth: •
[12] Young men and maidens: let the old with the younger, praise the name of the Lord:
[13] For his name alone is exalted. •
[14] The praise of him is above heaven and earth: and he hath exalted the horn of his people. A hymn to all his saints to the children of Israel, a people approaching to him. Alleluia. •
