Psalms 148

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

Praise ye Yah, Praise Yahweh, out of the heavens, Praise him, in the heights;

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

Praise him, all his messengers, Praise him, all his host;

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

Praise him, sun and moon, Praise him, all ye stars of light;

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

Praise him, O ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens;

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

Let them praise the Name of Yahweh, for, 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.

So caused he them to stand perpetually—age-abidingly, A decree, hath he given, and it passeth not beyond.

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

Praise Yahweh, out of the earth, sea monsters, and all resounding deeps;

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

Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind, fulfilling his word;

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

Ye mountains, and all hills, fruit trees, and all cedars;

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

Thou wild-beast, and all ye cattle, crawling creature, and bird of wing;

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

Kings of earth, and all peoples, Rulers, and all judges of earth;

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

Young men, yea even virgins, elders, 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 praise the Name of Yahweh, for lofty is his Name alone, His splendour is over earth and heavens.

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!

Therefore hath he exalted a horn for his people, a praise for all his men of lovingkindness, for the sons of Israel—a people near him, Praise ye Yah!
