Challoner’s heading

Laudate Dominum de caelis.

1Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise ye him in the high places. 2Praise ye him, all his angels, praise ye him, all his hosts. 3Praise ye him, O sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars and light. 4Praise him, ye heavens of heavens: and let all the waters that are above the heavens 5Praise the name of the Lord. For he spoke, and they were made: he commanded, and they were created. 6He hath established them for ever, and for ages of ages: he hath made a decree, and it shall not pass away. 7Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all ye deeps: 8Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy winds, which fulfil his word: 9Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars: 10Beasts and all cattle: serpents and feathered fowls: 11Kings of the earth and all people: princes and all judges of the earth: 12Young men and maidens: let the old with the younger, praise the name of the Lord: 13For his name alone is exalted. 14The 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.
Psalm 148 of 150

Text: the Douay-Rheims Bible in Bishop Challoner’s revision, public domain, from Project Gutenberg ebook 8300, set unaltered — 150 psalms and 2,528 verses, checked for gaps. Challoner’s own notes are left out, as in the gospels; the summary at the head of each psalm is his and is labelled as his. Psalms are numbered as in the Latin Vulgate, which differs by one from the Hebrew numbering of most modern Bibles for most of the book; each psalm gives both.
