Psalms 148

1 Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. Praise you the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the highest.

Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah from the heavens; praise him in the heights.

2 Praise you him, all his angels: praise you him, all his hosts.

Praise ye him, all his angels; praise ye him, all his hosts.

3 Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all you stars and light.

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

4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, and the water that is above the heavens.

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

5 Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he spoke, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.

Let them praise the name of Jehovah, for he it is that commanded, and they were created:

6 He has established them for ever, even for ever and ever: he has made an ordinance, and it shall not pass away.

And he established them for ever and ever; he made [for them] a statute which shall not pass.

7 Praise the Lord from the earth, you serpents, and all deeps.

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

8 Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy wind; the things that perform his word.

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

9 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:

Mountains and all hills, fruit-trees and all cedars;

10 wild beasts, and all cattle; reptiles, and winged birds:

Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;

11 kings of the earth, and all peoples; princes, 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 with youths:

Both young men and maidens, old men with youths, —

13 let them praise the name of the Lord: for his name only is exalted; his praise is above the earth and heaven,

Let them praise the name of Jehovah: for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above the earth and the heavens.

14 and he shall exalt the horn of his people, [there is] a hymn for all his saints, [even] of the children of Israel, a people who draw near to him.

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. Hallelujah!
