Psalms 148

1 Praise ye Jah! Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens, Praise ye Him in high places.

Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the highest.

2 Praise ye Him, all His messengers, Praise ye Him, all His hosts.

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

3 Praise ye Him, sun and moon, Praise ye Him, all stars of light.

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

4 Praise ye Him, heavens of heavens, And ye waters that are above the heavens.

Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and the water that is above the heavens.

5 They do praise the name of Jehovah, For He commanded, and they were created.

Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he spoke, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.

6 And He establisheth them for ever to the age, A statute He gave, and they pass not over.

He has established them for ever, even for ever and ever: he has made an ordinance, and it shall not pass away.

7 Praise ye Jehovah from the earth, Dragons and all deeps,

Praise the Lord from the earth, ye serpents, and all deeps.

8 Fire and hail, snow and vapour, Whirlwind doing His word;

Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy wind; the things that perform his word.

9 The mountains and all heights, Fruit tree, and all cedars,

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

10 The wild beast, and all cattle, Creeping thing, and winged bird,

wild beasts, and all cattle; reptiles, and winged birds:

11 Kings of earth, and all peoples, Chiefs, and all judges of earth,

kings of the earth, and all peoples; princes, and all judges of the earth:

12 Young men, and also maidens, Aged men, with youths,

young men and virgins, old men with youths:

13 They praise the name of Jehovah, For His name alone hath been set on high, His honour [is] above earth and heavens.

let them praise the name of the Lord: for his name only is exalted; his praise is above the earth and heaven,

14 And He exalteth the horn of His people, The praise of all His saints, Of the sons of Israel, a people near Him. Praise ye Jah!

and he shall exalt the horn of his people, [there is] a hymn for all his saints, [even] of the children of Israel, a people who draw near to him.
