Psalms 148

1 Give praise to the Lord. Let the Lord be praised from the heavens: give him praise in the skies.

Praise ye Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens. Praise him in the heights.

2 Give praise to him, all you his angels: give praise to him, all his armies.

Praise ye him, all his agents. Praise ye him, all his host.

3 Give praise to him, you sun and moon: give praise to him, all you stars of light.

Praise ye him, sun and moon. Praise him, all ye stars of light.

4 Give praise to him, you highest heavens, and you waters which are over the heavens.

Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.

5 Let them give praise to the name of the Lord: for he gave the order, and they were made.

Let them praise the name of Jehovah. For he commanded, and they were created.

6 He has put them in their places for ever; he has given them their limits which may not be broken.

He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which shall not pass away.

7 Give praise to the Lord from the earth, you great sea-beasts, and deep places:

Praise Jehovah from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps,

8 Fire and rain of ice, snow and mists; storm-wind, doing his word:

fire and hail, snow and vapor, stormy wind, fulfilling his word,

9 Mountains and all hills; fruit-trees and all trees of the mountains:

mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars,

10 Beasts and all cattle; insects and winged birds:

beasts and all cattle, creeping things and flying birds,

11 Kings of the earth, and all peoples; rulers and all judges of the earth:

kings of the earth and all peoples, rulers and all judges of the earth,

12 Young men and virgins; old men and children:

both young men and virgins, old men and sons.

13 Let them give glory to the name of the Lord: for his name only is to be praised: his kingdom is over the earth and the heaven.

Let them praise the name of Jehovah, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.

14 He has put on high the horn of his people, for the praise of all his saints; even the children of Israel, a people which is near to him. Let the Lord be praised.

And he has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his sanctified, even of the sons of Israel, a people near to him. Praise ye Jehovah.
