Psalms 148
1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord from the heauen: prayse ye him in the high places.
Praise Yahweh! Praise him, from up in heaven; praise him from way up in the sky!
2 Prayse ye him, all ye his Angels: praise him, all his armie.
All you angels who belong to him, praise him! All you who are in the armies of heaven, praise him!
3 Prayse ye him, sunne and moone: prayse ye him all bright starres.
Sun and moon, [you also] praise him! You shining stars, you praise him!
4 Prayse ye him, heauens of heauens, and waters, that be aboue the heauens.
You highest heavens, praise him! And you waters that are high above the sky, praise him!
5 Let them prayse the Name of the Lord: for he commanded, and they were created.
I want [all of] these to praise Yahweh [MTY] because by commanding [them to exist], he created them.
6 And he hath established them for euer and euer: he hath made an ordinance, which shall not passe.
He determined the places where they should be [in the sky], and he commanded that they should be there forever. They cannot disobey that command!
7 Prayse ye the Lord from the earth, ye dragons and all depths:
And everything on the earth, praise Yahweh! You [huge] sea monsters and [everything else that is] deep [in the ocean],
8 Fire and hayle, snowe and vapours, stormie winde, which execute his worde:
and fire and hail, and snow and frost, and strong winds that obey what he commands, [I tell] all of you to praise Yahweh!
9 Mountaines and all hils, fruitfull trees and all ceders:
Hills and mountains, fruit trees and cedar [trees],
10 Beasts and all cattell, creeping things and fethered foules:
all the wild animals and all [you] cattle, and the (reptiles/creatures that scurry across the ground), and [all] the birds, [I tell all of them to praise Yahweh]!
11 Kings of the earth and all people, princes and all iudges of the worlde:
You kings on this earth and all the people [that you rule], you princes and all [other] rulers,
12 Yong men and maidens, also olde men and children:
you young men and young women, you old people and children, [everyone, praise Yahweh!]
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.
I want them [all] to praise Yahweh [MTY] because he is greater than anyone else. His glory is greater than [anything on] the earth or [in] heaven.
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 caused us, his people, to be strong in order that we, his people, we Israeli people (who are very precious to him/whom he loves very much), would praise him. So praise Yahweh!
