< Psalms 148 >

1 Praise YAH! Praise YHWH from the heavens, Praise Him in high places.
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 his angels; praise him, all his hosts.
3 Praise Him, sun and moon, Praise Him, all stars of light.
Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all stars of light.
4 Praise Him, heavens of heavens, And you waters that are above the heavens.
Praise him, you highest heavens, and you waters 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 at his command they were made.
6 And He establishes them forever and for all time, He gave a statute, and they do not pass over.
And he fixed them for ever and ever by a law which they dare not transgress.
7 Praise YHWH from the earth, Dragons and all deeps,
Praise the Lord from the earth: you depths, with your monsters, all.
8 Fire and hail, snow and vapor, Whirlwind doing His word;
Fire, hail, snow and ice, and stormy wind doing his word.
9 The mountains and all heights, Fruit tree, and all cedars,
All you mountains and hills, all you fruit trees and cedars,
10 The wild beast, and all livestock, Creeping thing, and winged bird,
all you wild beasts and tame, creeping things, birds on the wing.
11 Kings of earth, and all peoples, Chiefs, and all judges of earth,
All you kings and nations of earth; all you princes and judges of earth:
12 Young men, and also maidens, Aged men, with youths,
young men and maidens together, old men and children together.
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. Over heaven and earth is his glory.
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 has lifted his people to honor. Wherefore this chorus of praise from his saints, from Israel, the people who stand in his fellowship. Hallelujah.
