Psalms 148

1 Praise JAH. Praise YHWH from the heavens. Praise him in the heights.

Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah from the heavens; praise him in the heights.

2 Praise him, all his angels. Praise him, all his army.

Praise ye him, all his angels; praise ye him, all his hosts.

3 Praise him, sun and moon. Praise him, all you shining stars.

Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all ye stars of light.

4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, You waters that are above the heavens.

Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.

5 Let them praise the name of YHWH, For he commanded, and they were created.

Let them praise the name of Jehovah, for he it is that commanded, and they were created:

6 He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.

And he established them for ever and ever; he made [for them] a statute which shall not pass.

7 Praise YHWH from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths.

Praise Jehovah from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;

8 Lightning and hail, snow and clouds; stormy wind, fulfilling his word;

Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind fulfilling his word;

9 mountains and all hills; fruit trees and all cedars;

Mountains and all hills, fruit-trees and all cedars;

10 wild animals and all livestock; small creatures and flying birds;

Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;

11 kings of the earth and all peoples; princes and all judges of the earth;

Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth;

12 both young men and maidens; old men and children:

Both young men and maidens, old men with youths, —

13 let them praise the name of YHWH, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.

Let them praise the name of Jehovah: for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above the earth and the heavens.

14 He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his faithful ones; even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise JAH.

And he hath lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, [even] of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Hallelujah!
