< Psalms 148 >

1 Praise ye Jah! Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens, Praise ye Him in high places.
הַ֥לְלוּ יָ֨הּ ׀ הַֽלְל֣וּ אֶת־יְ֭הוָה מִן־הַשָּׁמַ֑יִם הֽ͏ַ֝לְל֗וּהוּ בַּמְּרֹומִֽים׃
2 Praise ye Him, all His messengers, Praise ye Him, all His hosts.
הֽ͏ַלְל֥וּהוּ כָל־מַלְאָכָ֑יו הַֽ֝לְל֗וּהוּ כָּל־צְבָאֹו (צְבָאָֽיו)׃
3 Praise ye Him, sun and moon, Praise ye Him, all stars of light.
הַֽ֭לְלוּהוּ שֶׁ֣מֶשׁ וְיָרֵ֑חַ הַ֝לְל֗וּהוּ כָּל־כֹּ֥וכְבֵי אֹֽור׃
4 Praise ye Him, heavens of heavens, And ye waters that are above the heavens.
הַֽ֭לְלוּהוּ שְׁמֵ֣י הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם וְ֝הַמַּ֗יִם אֲשֶׁ֤ר ׀ מֵעַ֬ל הַשָּׁמָֽיִם׃
5 They do praise the name of Jehovah, For He commanded, and they were created.
יְֽ֭הַֽלְלוּ אֶת־שֵׁ֣ם יְהוָ֑ה כִּ֤י ה֭וּא צִוָּ֣ה וְנִבְרָֽאוּ׃
6 And He establisheth them for ever to the age, A statute He gave, and they pass not over.
וַיַּעֲמִידֵ֣ם לָעַ֣ד לְעֹולָ֑ם חָק־נָ֝תַ֗ן וְלֹ֣א יַעֲבֹֽור׃
7 Praise ye Jehovah from the earth, Dragons and all deeps,
הַֽלְל֣וּ אֶת־יְ֭הוָה מִן־הָאָ֑רֶץ תַּ֝נִּינִ֗ים וְכָל־תְּהֹמֹֽות׃
8 Fire and hail, snow and vapour, Whirlwind doing His word;
אֵ֣שׁ וּ֭בָרָד שֶׁ֣לֶג וְקִיטֹ֑ור ר֥וּחַ סְ֝עָרָ֗ה עֹשָׂ֥ה דְבָרֹֽו׃
9 The mountains and all heights, Fruit tree, and all cedars,
הֶהָרִ֥ים וְכָל־גְּבָעֹ֑ות עֵ֥ץ פְּ֝רִ֗י וְכָל־אֲרָזִֽים׃
10 The wild beast, and all cattle, Creeping thing, and winged bird,
הַֽחַיָּ֥ה וְכָל־בְּהֵמָ֑ה רֶ֝֗מֶשׂ וְצִפֹּ֥ור כָּנָֽף׃
11 Kings of earth, and all peoples, Chiefs, and all judges of earth,
מַלְכֵי־אֶ֭רֶץ וְכָל־לְאֻמִּ֑ים שָׂ֝רִ֗ים וְכָל־שֹׁ֥פְטֵי אָֽרֶץ׃
12 Young men, and also maidens, Aged men, with youths,
בַּחוּרִ֥ים וְגַם־בְּתוּלֹ֑ות זְ֝קֵנִ֗ים עִם־נְעָרֽ͏ִים׃
13 They praise the name of Jehovah, For His name alone hath been set on high, His honour [is] above earth and heavens.
יְהַלְל֤וּ ׀ אֶת־שֵׁ֬ם יְהוָ֗ה כִּֽי־נִשְׂגָּ֣ב שְׁמֹ֣ו לְבַדֹּ֑ו הֹ֝ודֹ֗ו עַל־אֶ֥רֶץ וְשָׁמָֽיִם׃
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!
וַיָּ֤רֶם קֶ֨רֶן ׀ לְעַמֹּ֡ו תְּהִלָּ֤ה לְֽכָל־חֲסִידָ֗יו לִבְנֵ֣י יִ֭שְׂרָאֵל עַֽם־קְרֹבֹ֗ו הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃
