< Psalms 148 >
1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord from the heauen: prayse ye him in the high places.
Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah from the heavens; praise him in the heights.
2 Prayse ye him, all ye his Angels: praise him, all his armie.
Praise ye him, all his angels; praise ye him, all his hosts.
3 Prayse ye him, sunne and moone: prayse ye him all bright starres.
Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all ye stars of light.
4 Prayse ye him, heauens of heauens, and waters, that be aboue the heauens.
Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye 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 name of Jehovah, for he it is that commanded, and they were created:
6 And he hath established them for euer and euer: he hath made an ordinance, which shall not passe.
And he established them for ever and ever; he made [for them] a statute which shall not pass.
7 Prayse ye the Lord from the earth, ye dragons and all depths:
Praise Jehovah from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;
8 Fire and hayle, snowe and vapours, stormie winde, which execute his worde:
Fire and hail, snow and vapour, 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:
Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;
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 with youths, —
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 name of Jehovah: for his name alone is exalted; his majesty 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.
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!
