Psalm 148, Chant C

 

Psalm 148   Laudate Dominum

1 Hallelujah! Praise the LORD from the hea-vens; *
praise him in the heights.

2 Praise him, all you an-gels of his; *
praise him, all his host.

3 Praise him, sun and moon; *
praise him, all you shin-ing stars.

4 Praise him, heaven of hea-vens, *
and you waters a-bove the hea-vens.

5 Let them praise the Name of the LORD; *
for he commanded, and they were cre-a-ted.

6 He made them stand fast for ever and ev-er; *
he gave them a law which shall not pass a-way.

7 Praise the LORD from the earth, *
you sea-monsters and all deeps;

8 Fire and hail, snow and fog, *
tempestuous wind, doing his will;

9 Mountains and all hills, *
fruit trees and all ce-dars;

10 Wild beasts and all cat-tle, *
creeping things and wing-ed birds;

11 Kings of the earth and all peo-ples, *
princes and all rulers of the world;

12 Young men and maid-ens, *
old and young to-ge-ther.

13 Let them praise the Name of the LORD, *
for his Name only is exalted, his splendor is over earth and hea-ven.

14 He has raised up strength for his people and praise for all his loy-al ser-vants, *
the children of Israel, a people who are near him. Hal-le-lu-jah!

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Ho-ly Spir-it: *
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ev-er. A-men.
