Psalms 148

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

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

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

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

3 Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all you shining stars.

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

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

Praise him, you heavens of heavens, and you waters that be 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 the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.

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

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

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

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

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

Fire, and hail; snow, and vapors; stormy wind fulfilling his word:

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

Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:

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

Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying 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 people; princes, and all judges of the earth:

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

Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:

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 the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.

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.

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.
