Psalms 148
1 Praise ye Yah, Praise Yahweh, out of the heavens, Praise him, in the heights;
Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise ye him in the high places.
2 Praise him, all his messengers, Praise him, all his host;
Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
3 Praise him, sun and moon, Praise him, all ye stars of light;
Praise ye him, O sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars and light.
4 Praise him, O ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens;
Praise him, ye heavens of heavens: and let all the waters that are above the heavens
5 Let them praise the Name of Yahweh, for, he, commanded, and they were created;
Praise the name of the Lord. For he spoke, and they were made: he commanded, and they were created.
6 So caused he them to stand perpetually—age-abidingly, A decree, hath he given, and it passeth not beyond.
He hath established them for ever, and for ages of ages: he hath made a decree, and it shall not pass away.
7 Praise Yahweh, out of the earth, sea monsters, and all resounding deeps;
Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all ye deeps:
8 Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind, fulfilling his word;
Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy winds which fulfill his word:
9 Ye mountains, and all hills, fruit trees, and all cedars;
Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars:
10 Thou wild-beast, and all ye cattle, crawling creature, and bird of wing;
Beasts and all cattle: serpents and feathered fowls:
11 Kings of earth, and all peoples, Rulers, and all judges of earth;
Kings of the earth and all people: princes and all judges of the earth:
12 Young men, yea even virgins, elders, and children.
Young men and maidens: let the old with the younger, praise the name of the Lord:
13 Let them praise the Name of Yahweh, for lofty is his Name alone, His splendour is over earth and heavens.
For his name alone is exalted.
14 Therefore hath he exalted a horn for his people, a praise for all his men of lovingkindness, for the sons of Israel—a people near him, Praise ye Yah!
The praise of him is above heaven and earth: and he hath exalted the horn of his people. A hymn to all his saints: to the children of Israel, a people approaching to him. Alleluia.
