Psalms 148

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

Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise him in the heights.

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

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

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

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

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

Praise him, you highest heavens, and you waters above the heavens.

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

Let them praise the name of the Lord, for at his command they were made.

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

And he fixed them for ever and ever by a law which they dare not transgress.

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

Praise the Lord from the earth: you depths, with your monsters, all.

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

Fire, hail, snow and ice, and stormy wind doing his word.

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

All you mountains and hills, all you fruit trees and cedars,

10 Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;

all you wild beasts and tame, creeping things, birds on the wing.

11 Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth;

All you kings and nations of earth; all you princes and judges of earth:

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

young men and maidens together, old men and children together.

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

Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted. Over heaven and earth is his glory.

14 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!

He has lifted his people to honour. Wherefore this chorus of praise from his saints, from Israel, the people who stand in his fellowship. Hallelujah.
