Psalms 148

1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the hights.

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

2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.

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

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

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

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

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

5 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.

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

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

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

7 Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:

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

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

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

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

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

10 Beasts, and all cattle; creeping animals, and flying fowl:

animals wild and tame, creatures that crawl and birds.

11 Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:

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

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

both young men and young women, elderly and children.

13 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory [is] above the earth and heaven.

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

14 He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; [even] of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise ye the LORD.

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.
