Psalms 148
1 Alleluia. Praise the Lord from the heavens. Praise him on the heights.
Praise all of you the LORD. Praise all of you the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights.
2 Praise him, all his Angels. Praise him, all his hosts.
Praise all of you him, all his angels: praise all of you him, all his hosts.
3 Praise him, sun and moon. Praise him, all stars and light.
Praise all of you him, sun and moon: praise him, all you stars of light.
4 Praise him, heavens of the heavens. And let all the waters that are above the heavens
Praise him, all of you heavens of heavens, and all of you waters that be above the heavens.
5 praise the name of the Lord. For he spoke, and they became. He commanded, and they were created.
Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.
6 He has stationed them in eternity, and for age after age. He has established a precept, and it will not pass away.
He has also established them for ever and ever: he has made a decree which shall not pass.
7 Praise the Lord from the earth: you dragons and all deep places,
Praise the LORD from the earth, all of you dragons, and all deeps:
8 fire, hail, snow, ice, windstorms, which do his word,
Fire, and hail; snow, and vapours; stormy wind fulfilling his word:
9 mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars,
Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
10 wild beasts and all cattle, serpents and feathered flying things,
Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:
11 kings of the earth and all peoples, leaders 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. Let the older men with the younger men, praise the name of the Lord.
Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:
13 For his name alone is exalted.
Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.
14 Confession of him is beyond heaven and earth, and he has exalted the horn of his people. A hymn to all his holy ones, to the sons of Israel, to a people close to him. Alleluia.
He also exalts the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise all of you the LORD.
