Psalms 148
1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights.
Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise him in the heights.
2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
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 stars of light.
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.
Praise him, you highest heavens, and you waters above the heavens.
5 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.
Let them praise the name of the Lord, for at his command they were made.
6 He hath also established them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.
And he fixed them for ever and ever by a law which they dare not transgress.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:
Praise the Lord from the earth: you depths, with your monsters, all.
8 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapours; stormy wind fulfilling his word:
Fire, hail, snow and ice, and stormy wind doing his word.
9 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
All you mountains and hills, all you fruit trees and cedars,
10 Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:
all you wild beasts and tame, creeping things, birds on the wing.
11 Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:
All you kings and nations of earth; all you princes and judges of earth:
12 Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:
young men and maidens together, old men and children together.
13 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.
Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted. Over heaven and earth is his glory.
14 He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise ye the LORD.
He has lifted his people to honor. Wherefore this chorus of praise from his saints, from Israel, the people who stand in his fellowship. Hallelujah.
