< Psalms 148 >
1 Praise ye Yah, Praise Yahweh, out of the heavens, Praise him, in the heights;
Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord from the heauen: prayse ye him in the high places.
2 Praise him, all his messengers, Praise him, all his host;
Prayse ye him, all ye his Angels: praise him, all his armie.
3 Praise him, sun and moon, Praise him, all ye stars of light;
Prayse ye him, sunne and moone: prayse ye him all bright starres.
4 Praise him, O ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens;
Prayse ye him, heauens of heauens, and waters, that be aboue the heauens.
5 Let them praise the Name of Yahweh, for, he, commanded, and they were created;
Let them prayse the Name of the Lord: for 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.
And he hath established them for euer and euer: he hath made an ordinance, which shall not passe.
7 Praise Yahweh, out of the earth, sea monsters, and all resounding deeps;
Prayse ye the Lord from the earth, ye dragons and all depths:
8 Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind, fulfilling his word;
Fire and hayle, snowe and vapours, stormie winde, which execute his worde:
9 Ye mountains, and all hills, fruit trees, and all cedars;
Mountaines and all hils, fruitfull trees and all ceders:
10 Thou wild-beast, and all ye cattle, crawling creature, and bird of wing;
Beasts and all cattell, creeping things and fethered foules:
11 Kings of earth, and all peoples, Rulers, and all judges of earth;
Kings of the earth and all people, princes and all iudges of the worlde:
12 Young men, yea even virgins, elders, and children.
Yong men and maidens, also olde men and children:
13 Let them praise the Name of Yahweh, for lofty is his Name alone, His splendour is over earth and heavens.
Let them prayse the Name of the Lord: for his Name onely is to be exalted, and his prayse aboue the earth and the heauens.
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!
For he hath exalted the horne of his people, which is a prayse for all his Saintes, euen for the children of Israel, a people that is neere vnto him. Prayse ye the Lord.
