Psalms 148

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

Praise ye the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens! Praise him in the heights!

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

Praise him, all ye his angels! Praise him, all ye his hosts!

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

Praise ye 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! 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 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 hath also established them for ever; He hath given them a law, and they transgress it not.

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

Praise the LORD 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 vapor; Thou tempest, that fulfillest his word!

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

Ye mountains, and all hills! Fruit-trees, and all cedars!

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

Ye wild beasts, and all cattle! Ye creeping things, and winged birds!

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

Ye kings, and all peoples, Princes, and all judges of the earth!

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

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 exalted; His glory 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.

He exalteth the horn of his people, The glory of all his godly ones, Of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise ye the LORD!
