Psalms 148

1 Praise you the LORD. Praise you the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights.

Hallelujah! Praise the LORD from the heavens; praise Him in the highest places.

2 Praise you him, all his angels: praise you him, all his hosts.

Praise Him, all His angels; praise Him, all His heavenly hosts.

3 Praise you him, sun and moon: praise him, all you stars of light.

Praise Him, O sun and moon; praise Him, all you shining stars.

4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, and you waters that be above the heavens.

Praise Him, O highest heavens, and you waters above the skies.

5 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.

Let them praise the name of the LORD, for He gave the command and they were created.

6 He has also established them for ever and ever: he has made a decree which shall not pass.

He established them forever and ever; He issued a decree that will never pass away.

7 Praise the LORD from the earth, you dragons, and all deeps:

Praise the LORD from the earth, all great sea creatures and ocean depths,

8 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapors; stormy wind fulfilling his word:

lightning and hail, snow and clouds, powerful wind fulfilling His word,

9 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:

mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,

10 Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:

wild animals and all cattle, crawling creatures and flying birds,

11 Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:

kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all rulers of the earth,

12 Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:

young men and maidens, old and young together.

13 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.

Let them praise the name of the LORD, for His name alone is exalted; His splendor is above the earth and the heavens.

14 He also exalts the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise you the LORD.

He has raised up a horn for His people, the praise of all His saints, of Israel, a people near to Him. Hallelujah!
