< Psalms 148 >
1 Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise ye him in the high places.
Praise ye Jah! Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens, Praise ye Him in high places.
2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
Praise ye Him, all His messengers, 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 ye Him, all stars of light.
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens: and let all the waters that are above the heavens
Praise ye Him, 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.
They do 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.
And He establisheth them for ever to the age, A statute He gave, and they pass not over.
7 Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all ye deeps:
Praise ye Jehovah from the earth, Dragons and all deeps,
8 Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy winds which fulfill his word:
Fire and hail, snow and vapour, Whirlwind doing His word;
9 Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars:
The mountains and all heights, Fruit tree, and all cedars,
10 Beasts and all cattle: serpents and feathered fowls:
The wild beast, and all cattle, Creeping thing, and winged bird,
11 Kings of the earth and all people: princes and all judges of the earth:
Kings of earth, and all peoples, Chiefs, and all judges of earth,
12 Young men and maidens: let the old with the younger, praise the name of the Lord:
Young men, and also maidens, Aged men, with youths,
13 For his name alone is exalted.
They praise the name of Jehovah, For His name alone hath been set on high, His honour [is] above earth and 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 exalteth the horn of His people, The praise of all His saints, Of the sons of Israel, a people near Him. Praise ye Jah!
