Psalms 148

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Al eluia! Praise Yahweh from the heavens, praise him in the heights.	1 Praise ye the Lord, because psalm is good: to our God be joyful and comely praise.
2 Praise him, all his angels, praise him, al his host!	2 The Lord buildeth up Jerusalem: he will gather together the dispersed of Israel.
3 Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, al shining stars,	3 Who healeth the broken of heart, and bindeth up their bruises.
4 praise him, highest heavens, praise him, waters above the heavens.	4 Who telleth the number of the stars: and calleth them all by their names.
5 Let them praise the name of Yahweh at whose command they were made;	5 Great is our Lord, and great is his power: and of his wisdom there is no number.
6 he established them for ever and ever by an unchanging decree.	6 The Lord lifteth up the meek, and bringeth the wicked down even to the ground.
7 Praise Yahweh from the earth, sea-monsters and all the depths,	7 Sing ye to the Lord with praise: sing to our God upon the harp.
8 fire and hail, snow and mist, storm-winds that obey his word,	8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, and prepareth rain for the earth. Who maketh grass to grow on the mountains, and herbs for the service of men.
9 mountains and every hill, orchards and every cedar,	9 Who giveth to beasts their food: and to the young ravens that call upon him.
10 wild animals and al cattle, reptiles and winged birds,	10 He shall not delight in the strength of the horse: nor take pleasure in the legs of a man.
11 kings of the earth and al nations, princes and all judges on earth,	11 The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him: and in them that hope in his mercy.
12 young men and girls, old people and children together.
13 Let them praise the name of Yahweh, for his name alone is sublime, his splendour transcends earthand heaven.
14 For he heightens the strength of his people, to the praise of al his faithful, the children of Israel, thepeople close to him.
