< Psalms 148 >

1 Hallelujah! Praise the LORD from the heavens; praise Him in the highest places.
Hallelujah. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens; praise Him in the heights.
2 Praise Him, all His angels; praise Him, all His heavenly hosts.
Praise ye Him, all His angels; praise ye Him, all His hosts.
3 Praise Him, O 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, O highest heavens, and you waters above the skies.
Praise Him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.
5 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for He gave the command and they were created.
Let them praise 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.
He hath also established them for ever and ever; He hath made a decree which shall not be transgressed.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, all great sea creatures and ocean depths,
Praise the LORD from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, powerful wind fulfilling His word,
Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind, fulfilling His word;
9 mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars;
10 wild animals and all cattle, crawling creatures and flying birds,
Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;
11 kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all rulers of the earth,
Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth;
12 young men and maidens, old and young together.
Both young men and maidens, old 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 praise the name of the LORD, for His name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven.
14 He has raised up a horn for His people, the praise of all His saints, of Israel, a people near to Him. Hallelujah!
And He hath lifted up a horn for His people, a praise for all His saints, even for the children of Israel, a people near unto Him. Hallelujah.
