Psalms 148

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

Praise ye Yah, Praise Yahweh, out of the heavens, Praise him, in the heights;

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

Praise him, all his messengers, Praise him, all his host;

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, O 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 Yahweh, for, he, commanded, and they were created;

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

So caused he them to stand perpetually—age-abidingly, A decree, hath he given, and it passeth not beyond.

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

Praise Yahweh, out of the earth, sea monsters, and all resounding 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:

Ye mountains, and all hills, fruit trees, and all cedars;

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

Thou wild-beast, and all ye cattle, crawling creature, and bird of wing;

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

Kings of earth, and all peoples, Rulers, and all judges of earth;

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

Young men, yea even virgins, elders, and children.

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 Yahweh, for lofty is his Name alone, His splendour is over earth and 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.

Therefore hath he exalted a horn for his people, a praise for all his men of lovingkindness, for the sons of Israel—a people near him, Praise ye Yah!
