Psalms 148

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

Hallelujah. Praise ye the Lord 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 ye 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 the Lord; for he 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 to eternity: he gave a decree which none shall transgress.

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

Praise the Lord 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 vapor; thou storm-wind that fulfillest his word;

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

Ye mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars;

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

Ye beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and winged birds;

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

Ye kings of the earth, and all nations; ye princes, and all judges of the earth;

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

Young men and also virgins; old men, together with boys: —

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 the Lord; for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above earth and heaven.

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.

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.
