< Psalms 148 >
1 Praise ye Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens: Praise him in the heights.
Hallelujah! Praise the LORD from the heavens; praise Him in the highest places.
2 Praise ye him, all his angels: Praise ye him, all his host.
Praise Him, all His angels; praise Him, all His heavenly hosts.
3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: Praise him, all ye stars of light.
Praise Him, O sun and moon; praise Him, all you shining stars.
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, And ye waters that are above the heavens.
Praise Him, O highest heavens, and you waters above the skies.
5 Let them praise the name of Jehovah; For he commanded, and they were created.
Let them praise the name of the LORD, for He gave the command and they were created.
6 He hath also established them for ever and ever: He hath made a decree which shall not pass away.
He established them forever and ever; He issued a decree that will never pass away.
7 Praise Jehovah from the earth, Ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;
Praise the LORD from the earth, all great sea creatures and ocean depths,
8 Fire and hail, snow and vapor; Stormy wind, fulfilling his word;
lightning and hail, snow and clouds, powerful wind fulfilling His word,
9 Mountains and all hills; Fruitful trees and all cedars;
mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
10 Beasts and all cattle; Creeping things and flying birds;
wild animals and all cattle, crawling creatures and flying birds,
11 Kings of the earth and all peoples; Princes and all judges of the earth;
kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all rulers of the earth,
12 Both young men and virgins; Old men and children:
young men and maidens, old and young together.
13 Let them praise the name of Jehovah; 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 splendor is above the earth and the heavens.
14 And he hath lifted up the horn of his people, The praise of all his saints; Even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye Jehovah.
He has raised up a horn for His people, the praise of all His saints, of Israel, a people near to Him. Hallelujah!
