< Psalms 148 >
1 Hallelujah! Praise the LORD from the heavens; praise Him in the highest places.
Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord from the heauen: prayse ye him in the high places.
2 Praise Him, all His angels; praise Him, all His heavenly hosts.
Prayse ye him, all ye his Angels: praise him, all his armie.
3 Praise Him, O sun and moon; praise Him, all you shining stars.
Prayse ye him, sunne and moone: prayse ye him all bright starres.
4 Praise Him, O highest heavens, and you waters above the skies.
Prayse ye him, heauens of heauens, and waters, that be aboue the heauens.
5 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for He gave the command and they were created.
Let them prayse the Name of the Lord: for he commanded, and they were created.
6 He established them forever and ever; He issued a decree that will never pass away.
And he hath established them for euer and euer: he hath made an ordinance, which shall not passe.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, all great sea creatures and ocean depths,
Prayse ye the Lord from the earth, ye dragons and all depths:
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, powerful wind fulfilling His word,
Fire and hayle, snowe and vapours, stormie winde, which execute his worde:
9 mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
Mountaines and all hils, fruitfull trees and all ceders:
10 wild animals and all cattle, crawling creatures and flying birds,
Beasts and all cattell, creeping things and fethered foules:
11 kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all rulers of the earth,
Kings of the earth and all people, princes and all iudges of the worlde:
12 young men and maidens, old and young together.
Yong men and maidens, also olde men and children:
13 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for His name alone is exalted; His splendor is above the earth and the heavens.
Let them prayse the Name of the Lord: for his Name onely is to be exalted, and his prayse aboue the earth and the heauens.
14 He has raised up a horn for His people, the praise of all His saints, of Israel, a people near to Him. Hallelujah!
For he hath exalted the horne of his people, which is a prayse for all his Saintes, euen for the children of Israel, a people that is neere vnto him. Prayse ye the Lord.
