< 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 angels: 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 hath also established them for ever and ever: He hath 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; Princes and all judges of the earth;
12 Young men and virgins; old men and children:
Both young men and virgins; Old men and children:
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 hath lifted up the horn of his people, The praise of all his saints; Even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye Jehovah.
