Psalms 148

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

12 young men and virgins, old men with youths:

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

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

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

14 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.

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!
