Psalms 148

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

Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise him in the heights.

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

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

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

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

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

Praise him, you highest heavens, and you waters 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 at his command they were made.

6 So caused he them to stand perpetually—age-abidingly, A decree, hath he given, and it passeth not beyond.

And he fixed them for ever and ever by a law which they dare not transgress.

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

Praise the Lord from the earth: you depths, with your monsters, all.

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

Fire, hail, snow and ice, and stormy wind doing his word.

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

All you mountains and hills, all you fruit trees and cedars,

10 Thou wild-beast, and all ye cattle, crawling creature, and bird of wing;

all you wild beasts and tame, creeping things, birds on the wing.

11 Kings of earth, and all peoples, Rulers, and all judges of earth;

All you kings and nations of earth; all you princes and judges of earth:

12 Young men, yea even virgins, elders, and children.

young men and maidens together, old men and children together.

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 exalted. Over heaven and earth is his glory.

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 has lifted his people to honor. Wherefore this chorus of praise from his saints, from Israel, the people who stand in his fellowship. Hallelujah.
