Psalms 148

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

Praise ye YHWH. Praise ye YHWH 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 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 be 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 YHWH: 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 hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.

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

Praise YHWH from the earth, ye dragons, 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; fruitful trees, and all cedars:

10 Beasts and all cattle: serpents and feathered fowls:

Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:

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

Kings of the earth, and all people; 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, and children:

13 For his name alone is exalted.

Let them praise the name of YHWH: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.

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.

He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye YHWH.
