< Psalms 148 >

1 PRAISE ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the heights.
Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah from the heavens; praise him in the heights.
2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
Praise ye him, all his angels; praise ye him, all his hosts.
3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.
Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all ye stars of light.
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.
Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.
5 Let them praise 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 He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.
And he established them for ever and ever; he made [for them] a statute which shall not pass.
7 Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:
Praise Jehovah from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;
8 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word:
Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy 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:
Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;
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 judges of the earth;
12 Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:
Both young men and maidens, old men with youths, —
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 Jehovah: for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above the earth and the heavens.
14 He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise 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!
