< Psalms 148 >

1 Hallelujah. Praise ye 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 ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
Praise Him, all His angels; praise Him, all His heavenly hosts.
3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.
Praise Him, O sun and moon; praise Him, all you shining stars.
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are 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 And he established them for ever and to eternity: he gave a decree which none shall transgress.
He established them forever and ever; He issued a decree that will never pass away.
7 Praise the Lord from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;
Praise the LORD from the earth, all great sea creatures and ocean depths,
8 Fire, and hail, snow, and vapor; thou storm-wind that fulfillest his word;
lightning and hail, snow and clouds, powerful wind fulfilling His word,
9 Ye mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars;
mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
10 Ye beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and winged birds;
wild animals and all cattle, crawling creatures and flying birds,
11 Ye kings of the earth, and all nations; ye princes, and all judges of the earth;
kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all rulers of the earth,
12 Young men and also virgins; old men, together with boys: —
young men and maidens, old and young together.
13 Let them praise the name of the Lord; for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above 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 exalteth the horn of his people, a praise unto all his pious servants, [even] unto the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Hallelujah.
He has raised up a horn for His people, the praise of all His saints, of Israel, a people near to Him. Hallelujah!
