Psalms 148

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

Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh 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 army!

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

Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!

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

Praise him, you heavens of heavens, you 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 Yahweh’s name, 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.

He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.

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

Praise Yahweh from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths,

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

lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind, fulfilling his word,

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

mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,

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

wild animals and all livestock, small creatures and flying birds,

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

both young men and maidens, old men 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 Yahweh’s name, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the 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!

He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise Yah!
