Psalmus - caput 148

1 Alleluja. Laudate Dominum de cælis; laudate eum in excelsis.

2 Laudate eum, omnes angeli ejus; laudate eum, omnes virtutes ejus.

3 Laudate eum, sol et luna; laudate eum, omnes stellæ et lumen.

4 Laudate eum, cæli cælorum; et aquæ omnes quæ super cælos sunt,

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

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

7 Laudate Dominum de terra, dracones et omnes abyssi;

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

9 montes, et omnes colles; ligna fructifera, et omnes cedri;

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

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

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

13 quia exaltatum est nomen ejus solius.

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

About Vulgate

The Vulgate is a late-4th-century Latin translation of the Bible that was to become the Catholic Church's officially promulgated Latin version of the Bible during the 16th century, and is still used fundamentally in the Latin Church to this day.

The translation was largely the work of Jerome, who in 382 had been commissioned by Pope Damasus I to revise the Vetus Latina ("Old Latin") Gospels then in use by the Roman Church. Jerome, on his own initiative, extended this work of revision and translation to include most of the books of the Bible and once published, the new version became widely adopted and over succeeding centuries eventually eclipsed the Vetus Latina, so that by the 13th century it had taken over from the former version the appellation of versio vulgata (the "version commonly used") or vulgata for short.

The Catholic Church affirmed the Vulgate as its official Latin Bible at the Council of Trent (1545–1563), though there was no authoritative edition at that time. The Clementine edition of the Vulgate of 1592 became the standard Bible text of the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church and remained so until 1979 when the Nova Vulgata was promulgated.
