Psalms 148
1 Praise ye Jah! Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens, Praise ye Him in high places.
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from heaven; praise him in the heights above!
2 Praise ye Him, all His messengers, Praise ye Him, all His hosts.
Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his heavenly armies!
3 Praise ye Him, sun and moon, Praise ye Him, all stars of light.
Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
4 Praise ye Him, heavens of heavens, And ye waters that are above the heavens.
Praise him, highest heavens, and the waters above the heavens!
5 They do praise the name of Jehovah, For He commanded, and they were created.
Let them all praise the Lord and his nature, for he gave the order and they were created.
6 And He establisheth them for ever to the age, A statute He gave, and they pass not over.
He placed them in their positions forever and ever; he established a law that will never end.
7 Praise ye Jehovah from the earth, Dragons and all deeps,
Praise the Lord from the earth, and creatures from all the depths of the seas,
8 Fire and hail, snow and vapour, Whirlwind doing His word;
lightning and hail, snow and clouds, and stormy wind—everything that does as he commands.
9 The mountains and all heights, Fruit tree, and all cedars,
Mountains and all the hills, fruit trees and all the trees of the forest,
10 The wild beast, and all cattle, Creeping thing, and winged bird,
wild animals and all livestock, crawling animals and wild birds,
11 Kings of earth, and all peoples, Chiefs, and all judges of earth,
earthly kings and all peoples, leaders and rulers of the world,
12 Young men, and also maidens, Aged men, with youths,
young men and women, old people and children—
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 all praise the Lord, for his reputation is unequalled; his glory is above anything on earth or in 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!
He has given his people a source of strength, bringing praise to his faithful followers, the people of Israel who are dear to him. Praise the Lord!
