Psalms 148

1 Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from heaven; praise him in the heights above!

Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord from the heauen: prayse ye him in the high places.

2 Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his heavenly armies!

Prayse ye him, all ye his Angels: praise him, all his armie.

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

Prayse ye him, sunne and moone: prayse ye him all bright starres.

4 Praise him, highest heavens, and the waters above the heavens!

Prayse ye him, heauens of heauens, and waters, that be aboue the heauens.

5 Let them all praise the Lord and his nature, for he gave the order and they were created.

Let them prayse the Name of the Lord: for he commanded, and they were created.

6 He placed them in their positions forever and ever; he established a law that will never end.

And he hath established them for euer and euer: he hath made an ordinance, which shall not passe.

7 Praise the Lord from the earth, and creatures from all the depths of the seas,

Prayse ye the Lord from the earth, ye dragons and all depths:

8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, and stormy wind—everything that does as he commands.

Fire and hayle, snowe and vapours, stormie winde, which execute his worde:

9 Mountains and all the hills, fruit trees and all the trees of the forest,

Mountaines and all hils, fruitfull trees and all ceders:

10 wild animals and all livestock, crawling animals and wild birds,

Beasts and all cattell, creeping things and fethered foules:

11 earthly kings and all peoples, leaders and rulers of the world,

Kings of the earth and all people, princes and all iudges of the worlde:

12 young men and women, old people and children—

Yong men and maidens, also olde men and children:

13 Let them all praise the Lord, for his reputation is unequalled; his glory is above anything on earth or in heaven.

Let them prayse the Name of the Lord: for his Name onely is to be exalted, and his prayse aboue the earth and the heauens.

14 He has given his people a source of strength, bringing praise to his faithful followers, the people of Israel who are dear to him. Praise the Lord!

For he hath exalted the horne of his people, which is a prayse for all his Saintes, euen for the children of Israel, a people that is neere vnto him. Prayse ye the Lord.
