Psalms 148

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

Praise ye Yah, Praise Yahweh, out of 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 messengers, Praise him, all his host;

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 ye stars of light;

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

Praise him, O 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 Yahweh, 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.

So caused he them to stand perpetually—age-abidingly, A decree, hath he given, and it passeth not beyond.

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

Praise Yahweh, out of the earth, sea monsters, and all resounding deeps;

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

Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind, fulfilling his word;

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

Ye mountains, and all hills, fruit trees, and all cedars;

10 Beasts and all cattle; insects and winged birds:

Thou wild-beast, and all ye cattle, crawling creature, and bird of wing;

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

Kings of earth, and all peoples, Rulers, and all judges of earth;

12 Young men and virgins; old men and children:

Young men, yea even virgins, elders, 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 Yahweh, for lofty is his Name alone, His splendour is over earth and 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.

Therefore hath he exalted a horn for his people, a praise for all his men of lovingkindness, for the sons of Israel—a people near him, Praise ye Yah!
