Psalms 148

1 Praise Yahweh. Praise Yahweh, you in the heavens; praise him, you in the heights.

Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah from the heavens; praise him in the heights.

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

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

4 Praise him, highest heaven and you waters that are above the sky.

Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.

5 Let them praise the name of Yahweh, for he gave the command, and they were created.

Let them praise the name of Jehovah, for he it is that commanded, and they were created:

6 He has also established them forever and ever; he issued a decree that will never change.

And he established them for ever and ever; he made [for them] a statute which shall not pass.

7 Praise him from the earth, you sea monsters and all ocean depths,

Praise Jehovah from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;

8 fire and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind fulfilling his word.

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

9 Praise him, mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,

Mountains and all hills, fruit-trees and all cedars;

10 animals wild and tame, creatures that crawl and birds.

Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;

11 Praise Yahweh, kings of the earth and all nations, princes and all who govern on the earth,

Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth;

12 both young men and young women, elderly and children.

Both young men and maidens, old men with youths, —

13 Let them all praise the name of Yahweh, for his name alone is exalted and his glory extends over the earth and the heavens.

Let them praise the name of Jehovah: for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above the earth and the heavens.

14 He has lifted up the horn of his people for praise from all his faithful ones, the Israelites, the people near to him. Praise Yahweh.

And he hath lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, [even] of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Hallelujah!
