Psalms 148

1 Praise ye Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens: Praise him in the heights.

Praise Yahweh. Praise Yahweh, you in the heavens; praise him, you in the heights.

2 Praise ye him, all his angels: Praise ye him, all his host.

Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his hosts.

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

Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all you shining stars.

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

Praise him, highest heaven and you waters that are above the sky.

5 Let them praise the name of Jehovah; For he commanded, and they were created.

Let them praise the name of Yahweh, for he gave the command, and they were created.

6 He hath also established them for ever and ever: He hath made a decree which shall not pass away.

He has also established them forever and ever; he issued a decree that will never change.

7 Praise Jehovah from the earth, Ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;

Praise him from the earth, you sea monsters and all ocean depths,

8 Fire and hail, snow and vapor; Stormy wind, fulfilling his word;

fire and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind fulfilling his word.

9 Mountains and all hills; Fruitful trees and all cedars;

Praise him, mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,

10 Beasts and all cattle; Creeping things and flying birds;

animals wild and tame, creatures that crawl and birds.

11 Kings of the earth and all peoples; Princes and all judges of the earth;

Praise Yahweh, kings of the earth and all nations, princes and all who govern on the earth,

12 Both young men and virgins; Old men and children:

both young men and young women, elderly and children.

13 Let them praise the name of Jehovah; For his name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and the heavens.

Let them all praise the name of Yahweh, for his name alone is exalted and his glory extends over the earth and the heavens.

14 And he hath lifted up the horn of his people, The praise of all his saints; Even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye Jehovah.

He has lifted up the horn of his people for praise from all his faithful ones, the Israelites, the people near to him. Praise Yahweh.
