Psalms 148
1 Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise him in the heights.
Praise ye Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens. Praise him in the heights.
2 Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his hosts.
Praise ye him, all his agents. Praise ye him, all his host.
3 Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all stars of light.
Praise ye him, sun and moon. Praise him, all ye stars of light.
4 Praise him, you highest heavens, and you waters above the heavens.
Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.
5 Let them praise the name of the Lord, for at his command they were made.
Let them praise the name of Jehovah. For he commanded, and they were created.
6 And he fixed them for ever and ever by a law which they dare not transgress.
He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which shall not pass away.
7 Praise the Lord from the earth: you depths, with your monsters, all.
Praise Jehovah from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps,
8 Fire, hail, snow and ice, and stormy wind doing his word.
fire and hail, snow and vapor, stormy wind, fulfilling his word,
9 All you mountains and hills, all you fruit trees and cedars,
mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars,
10 all you wild beasts and tame, creeping things, birds on the wing.
beasts and all cattle, creeping things and flying birds,
11 All you kings and nations of earth; all you princes and judges of earth:
kings of the earth and all peoples, rulers and all judges of the earth,
12 young men and maidens together, old men and children together.
both young men and virgins, old men and sons.
13 Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted. Over heaven and earth is his glory.
Let them praise the name of Jehovah, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
14 He has lifted his people to honour. Wherefore this chorus of praise from his saints, from Israel, the people who stand in his fellowship. Hallelujah.
And he has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his sanctified, even of the sons of Israel, a people near to him. Praise ye Jehovah.
