Psalms 148

1 Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise ye him in the high places.

Praise ye Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens. Praise him in the heights.

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

Praise ye him, all his agents. Praise ye him, all his host.

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

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

4 Praise him, ye heavens of 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 were made: he commanded, and they were created.

Let them praise the name of Jehovah. For he commanded, and they were created.

6 He hath established them for ever, and for ages of ages: he hath made a decree, and it shall not pass away.

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

7 Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all ye deeps:

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

8 Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy winds which fulfill his word:

fire and hail, snow and vapor, 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 Beasts and all cattle: serpents and feathered fowls:

beasts and all cattle, creeping things and flying birds,

11 Kings of the earth and all people: princes and all judges of the earth:

kings of the earth and all peoples, rulers and all judges of the earth,

12 Young men and maidens: let the old with the younger, praise the name of the Lord:

both young men and virgins, old men and sons.

13 For his name alone is exalted.

Let them praise the name of Jehovah, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.

14 The praise of him is above heaven and earth: and he hath exalted the horn of his people. A hymn to all his saints: to the children of Israel, a people approaching to him. Alleluia.

And he has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his sanctified, even of the sons of Israel, a people near to him. Praise ye Jehovah.
