Psalms 148
1 Hallelujah! Praise the LORD from the heavens; praise Him in the highest places.
Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise him in the heights.
2 Praise Him, all His angels; praise Him, all His heavenly hosts.
Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his hosts.
3 Praise Him, O sun and moon; praise Him, all you shining stars.
Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all stars of light.
4 Praise Him, O highest heavens, and you waters above the skies.
Praise him, you highest heavens, and you waters 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 at his command they were made.
6 He established them forever and ever; He issued a decree that will never pass away.
And he fixed them for ever and ever by a law which they dare not transgress.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, all great sea creatures and ocean depths,
Praise the Lord from the earth: you depths, with your monsters, all.
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, powerful wind fulfilling His word,
Fire, hail, snow and ice, and stormy wind doing his word.
9 mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
All you mountains and hills, all you fruit trees and cedars,
10 wild animals and all cattle, crawling creatures and flying birds,
all you wild beasts and tame, creeping things, birds on the wing.
11 kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all rulers of the earth,
All you kings and nations of earth; all you princes and judges of earth:
12 young men and maidens, old and young together.
young men and maidens together, old men and children together.
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. Over heaven and earth is his glory.
14 He has raised up a horn for His people, the praise of all His saints, of Israel, a people near to Him. Hallelujah!
He has lifted his people to honor. Wherefore this chorus of praise from his saints, from Israel, the people who stand in his fellowship. Hallelujah.
