English (Douay-Rheims)
Alleluia.
1 Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise ye him in the high places.
2 Praise ye him, all his angels, praise ye him, all his hosts.
3 Praise ye him, O sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars and light.
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens: and let all the waters that are above the heavens
5 Praise the name of the Lord. For he spoke, and they were made: he commanded, and they were created.
6 He hath established them for ever, and for ages of ages: he hath made a decree, and it shall not pass away.
7 Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all ye deeps:
8 Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy winds, which fulfil his word:
9 Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars:
10 Beasts and all cattle: serpents and feathered fowls:
11 Kings of the earth and all people: princes and all judges of the earth:
12 Young men and maidens: let the old with the younger, praise the name of the Lord:
13 For his name alone is exalted.
14 The praise of him is above heaven and earth: and he hath exalted the horn of his people. A hymn to all his saints to the children of Israel, a people approaching to him. Alleluia.

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 Israël, populo appropinquanti sibi.
Alleluja.
