5 Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he commanded, and they were created.

5 laudent nomen Domini.
Quia ipse dixit, et facta sunt;
ipse mandavit, et creata sunt.

6 He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.

6 Statuit ea in æternum, et in sæculum sæculi;
præceptum posuit, et non præteribit.

7 Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:

7 Laudate Dominum de terra,
dracones et omnes abyssi;

8 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word:

8 ignis, grando, nix, glacies, spiritus procellarum,
quæ faciunt verbum ejus;

9 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:

9 montes, et omnes colles;

10 Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:

10 bestiæ, et universa pecora;
serpentes, et volucres pennatæ;

11 Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:

11 reges terræ et omnes populi;
principes et omnes judices terræ;

12 Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:

12 juvenes et virgines; senes cum junioribus,
laudent nomen Domini:

13 Let them praise the name of the Lord: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.

13 quia exaltatum est nomen ejus solius.

14 He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the Lord.

14 Confessio ejus super cælum et terram;
et exaltavit cornu populi sui.
Hymnus omnibus sanctis ejus;
filiis Israël, populo appropinquanti sibi.
Alleluja.
