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 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 pass.

7 Praise the LORD from the earth, all great sea creatures and ocean depths,

Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:

8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, powerful wind fulfilling His word,

Fire, and hail; snow, and vapours; 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 flying fowl:

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 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 excellent; 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!

He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise ye the LORD.
