Psalms 148

1 Alleluia. Praise the Lord from the heavens. Praise him on the heights.

Hallelujah. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the heights.

2 Praise him, all his Angels. Praise 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 stars and light.

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

4 Praise him, heavens of the heavens. And let all the waters that are above the heavens

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

And he established them for ever and to eternity: he gave a decree which none shall transgress.

7 Praise the Lord from the earth: you dragons and all deep places,

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

8 fire, hail, snow, ice, windstorms, which do his word,

Fire, and hail, snow, and vapor; thou storm-wind that fulfillest his word;

9 mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars,

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

10 wild beasts and all cattle, serpents and feathered flying things,

Ye beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and winged birds;

11 kings of the earth and all peoples, leaders and all judges of the earth,

Ye kings of the earth, and all nations; ye 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.

Young men and also virgins; old men, together with boys: —

13 For his name alone is exalted.

Let them praise the name of the Lord; for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above 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 exalteth the horn of his people, a praise unto all his pious servants, [even] unto the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Hallelujah.
