Psalms 148

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

Praise JAH. Praise YHWH 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 him, all his angels. Praise him, all his army.

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

Praise him, sun and moon. Praise him, all you shining stars.

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

Praise him, you heavens of heavens, You 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 YHWH, 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 will not pass away.

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

Praise YHWH from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths.

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

Lightning and hail, snow and clouds; stormy wind, fulfilling his word;

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

mountains and all hills; fruit trees and all cedars;

10 Beasts and all cattle; insects and winged birds:

wild animals and all livestock; small creatures 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 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 YHWH, 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.

He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his faithful ones; even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise JAH.
