Psalms 148
1 Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens! Praise him in the heights!
Hallelujah. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the heights.
2 Praise him, all his angels! Praise him, all his army!
Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
3 Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.
4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, you waters that are above the heavens.
Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.
5 Let them praise the LORD’s name, for he commanded, and they were created.
Let them praise the name of the Lord; for he commanded and they were created.
6 He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.
And he established them for ever and to eternity: he gave a decree which none shall transgress.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths,
Praise the Lord from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind, fulfilling his word,
Fire, and hail, snow, and vapor; thou storm-wind that fulfillest his word;
9 mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
Ye mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars;
10 wild animals and all livestock, small creatures and flying birds,
Ye beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and winged birds;
11 kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth,
Ye kings of the earth, and all nations; ye princes, and all judges of the earth;
12 both young men and maidens, old men and children.
Young men and also virgins; old men, together with boys: —
13 Let them praise the LORD’s name, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
Let them praise the name of the Lord; for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above earth and heaven.
14 He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise the LORD!
He also exalteth the horn of his people, a praise unto all his pious servants, [even] unto the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Hallelujah.
