Psalms 148

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

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 hosts.

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

Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all stars of light.

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

Praise him, you highest heavens, and you waters 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 the Lord, for at his command they were made.

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

And he fixed them for ever and ever by a law which they dare not transgress.

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

Praise the Lord from the earth: you depths, with your monsters, all.

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

Fire, hail, snow and ice, and stormy wind doing his word.

9 Mountaines and all hils, fruitfull trees and all ceders:

All you mountains and hills, all you fruit trees and cedars,

10 Beasts and all cattell, creeping things and fethered foules:

all you wild beasts and tame, creeping things, birds on the wing.

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

All you kings and nations of earth; all you princes and judges of earth:

12 Yong men and maidens, also olde men and children:

young men and maidens together, old men and children together.

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 the Lord, for his name alone is exalted. Over heaven and earth is his glory.

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 his people to honor. Wherefore this chorus of praise from his saints, from Israel, the people who stand in his fellowship. Hallelujah.
