Psalms 148

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

Praise ye Yah, Praise Yahweh, out of the heavens, Praise him, in the heights;

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

Praise him, all his messengers, Praise him, all his host;

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

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

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

Praise him, O ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are 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 Yahweh, for, he, commanded, and they were created;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Young men, yea even virgins, elders, and children.

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 Yahweh, for lofty is his Name alone, His splendour is over earth and heavens.

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!

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!
