< Psalms 148 >
1 Praise YAH! Praise YHWH from the heavens, Praise Him in high places.
Hallelujah. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens; praise Him in the heights.
2 Praise Him, all His messengers, Praise Him, all His hosts.
Praise ye Him, all His angels; praise ye Him, all His hosts.
3 Praise Him, sun and moon, Praise Him, all stars of light.
Praise ye Him, sun and moon; praise Him, all ye stars of light.
4 Praise Him, heavens of heavens, And you waters that are above the heavens.
Praise Him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.
5 They praise the Name of YHWH, For He commanded, and they were created.
Let them praise the name of the LORD; for He commanded, and they were created.
6 And He establishes them forever and for all time, He gave a statute, and they do not pass over.
He hath also established them for ever and ever; He hath made a decree which shall not be transgressed.
7 Praise YHWH from the earth, Dragons and all deeps,
Praise the LORD from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;
8 Fire and hail, snow and vapor, Whirlwind doing His word;
Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind, fulfilling His word;
9 The mountains and all heights, Fruit tree, and all cedars,
Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars;
10 The wild beast, and all livestock, Creeping thing, and winged bird,
Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;
11 Kings of earth, and all peoples, Chiefs, and all judges of earth,
Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth;
12 Young men, and also maidens, Aged men, with youths,
Both young men and maidens, old men and children;
13 They praise the Name of YHWH, For His Name alone has been set on high, His splendor [is] above earth and heavens.
Let them praise the name of the LORD, for His name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven.
14 And He exalts the horn of His people, The praise of all His saints, Of the sons of Israel, A people near Him. Praise YAH!
And He hath lifted up a horn for His people, a praise for all His saints, even for the children of Israel, a people near unto Him. Hallelujah.
