< Psalms 148 >
1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord from the heauen: prayse ye him in the high places.
Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens! Praise him in the heights!
2 Prayse ye him, all ye his Angels: praise him, all his armie.
Praise him, all his angels! Praise him, all his army!
3 Prayse ye him, sunne and moone: prayse ye him all bright starres.
Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
4 Prayse ye him, heauens of heauens, and waters, that be aboue the heauens.
Praise him, you heavens of heavens, you waters that are above the heavens.
5 Let them prayse the Name of the Lord: for he commanded, and they were created.
Let them praise the LORD’s name, for he commanded, and they were created.
6 And he hath established them for euer and euer: he hath made an ordinance, which shall not passe.
He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.
7 Prayse ye the Lord from the earth, ye dragons and all depths:
Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths,
8 Fire and hayle, snowe and vapours, stormie winde, which execute his worde:
lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind, fulfilling his word,
9 Mountaines and all hils, fruitfull trees and all ceders:
mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
10 Beasts and all cattell, creeping things and fethered foules:
wild animals and all livestock, small creatures and flying birds,
11 Kings of the earth and all people, princes and all iudges of the worlde:
kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth,
12 Yong men and maidens, also olde men and children:
both young men and maidens, old men and children.
13 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.
Let them praise the LORD’s name, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
14 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.
He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise the LORD!
