Psalms 148

1 Praise ye Yah, Praise Yahweh, out of the heavens, Praise him, in the heights;

Praise you the LORD. Praise you the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights.

2 Praise him, all his messengers, Praise him, all his host;

Praise you him, all his angels: praise you him, all his hosts.

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

Praise you him, sun and moon: praise him, all you stars of light.

4 Praise him, O ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens;

Praise him, you heavens of heavens, and you waters that be above the heavens.

5 Let them praise the Name of Yahweh, for, he, commanded, and they were created;

Let them praise 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.

He has also established them for ever and ever: he has made a decree which shall not pass.

7 Praise Yahweh, out of the earth, sea monsters, and all resounding deeps;

Praise the LORD from the earth, you dragons, and all deeps:

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

Fire, and hail; snow, and vapors; stormy wind fulfilling 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; creeping things, and flying fowl:

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.

Both young men, and maidens; old 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 praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.

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!

He also exalts the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise you the LORD.
