< Psalms 148 >
1 Praise YAH! Praise YHWH from the heavens, Praise Him in high places.
Praise ye the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens! Praise him in the heights!
2 Praise Him, all His messengers, Praise Him, all His hosts.
Praise him, all ye his angels! Praise him, all ye 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! 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; He hath given them a law, and they transgress it not.
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 vapor; Thou tempest, that fulfillest his word!
9 The mountains and all heights, Fruit tree, and all cedars,
Ye mountains, and all hills! Fruit-trees, and all cedars!
10 The wild beast, and all livestock, Creeping thing, and winged bird,
Ye wild beasts, and all cattle! Ye creeping things, and winged birds!
11 Kings of earth, and all peoples, Chiefs, and all judges of earth,
Ye kings, and all peoples, Princes, and all judges of the earth!
12 Young men, and also maidens, Aged men, with youths,
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 the heavens.
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!
He exalteth the horn of his people, The glory of all his godly ones, Of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise ye the LORD!
