Psalms 148

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

Praise you the LORD. Praise you the LORD 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 you him, all his angels: praise you him, all his hosts.

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

Praise you him, sun and moon: praise him, all you stars of light.

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

Praise him, you heavens of heavens, and you waters that be 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 the LORD: 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 for ever and ever: he has made a decree which shall not pass.

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

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

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

Fire, and hail; snow, and vapors; 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 fowl:

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

Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:

12 Young men and virgins; old men and children:

Both young men, and maidens; 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 the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.

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.

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