1Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens! Praise him in the heights!
1Alleluja. [Laudate Dominum de cælis; laudate eum in excelsis.
2Praise him, all his angels! Praise him, all his army!
2Laudate eum, omnes angeli ejus; laudate eum, omnes virtutes ejus.
3Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
3Laudate eum, sol et luna; laudate eum, omnes stellæ et lumen.
4Praise him, you heavens of heavens, you waters that are above the heavens.
4Laudate eum, cæli cælorum; et aquæ omnes quæ super cælos sunt,
5Let them praise the LORD’s name, for he commanded, and they were created.
5laudent nomen Domini. Quia ipse dixit, et facta sunt; ipse mandavit, et creata sunt.
6He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.
6Statuit ea in æternum, et in sæculum sæculi; præceptum posuit, et non præteribit.
7Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths,
7Laudate Dominum de terra, dracones et omnes abyssi;
8lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind, fulfilling his word,
8ignis, grando, nix, glacies, spiritus procellarum, quæ faciunt verbum ejus;
9mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
9montes, et omnes colles; ligna fructifera, et omnes cedri;
10wild animals and all livestock, small creatures and flying birds,
10bestiæ, et universa pecora; serpentes, et volucres pennatæ;
11kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth,
11reges terræ et omnes populi; principes et omnes judices terræ;
12both young men and maidens, old men and children.
12juvenes et virgines; senes cum junioribus, laudent nomen Domini:
13Let them praise the LORD’s name, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
13quia exaltatum est nomen ejus solius.
14He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise the LORD!
14Confessio ejus super cælum et terram; et exaltavit cornu populi sui. Hymnus omnibus sanctis ejus; filiis Israël, populo appropinquanti sibi. Alleluja.]
