Psalms 148

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

Hallelujah! Praise 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 angels; praise ye him, all his hosts.

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

Praise 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 it is that 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.

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

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 vapour, stormy wind fulfilling his word;

9 Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars:

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

10 Beasts and all cattle: serpents and feathered fowls:

Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;

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

Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes 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 maidens, old men with youths, —

13 For his name alone is exalted.

Let them praise the name of Jehovah: for his name alone is exalted; his majesty 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 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!
