Psalms 148
1 Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh from the heavens! Praise him in the heights!
Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise him in the heights.
2 Praise him, all his angels! Praise him, all his army!
Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his hosts.
3 Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all stars of light.
4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, you waters that are above the heavens.
Praise him, you highest heavens, and you waters above the heavens.
5 Let them praise Yahweh’s name, for he commanded, and they were created.
Let them praise the name of the Lord, for at his command they were made.
6 He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.
And he fixed them for ever and ever by a law which they dare not transgress.
7 Praise Yahweh from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths,
Praise the Lord from the earth: you depths, with your monsters, all.
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind, fulfilling his word,
Fire, hail, snow and ice, and stormy wind doing his word.
9 mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
All you mountains and hills, all you fruit trees and cedars,
10 wild animals and all livestock, small creatures and flying birds,
all you wild beasts and tame, creeping things, birds on the wing.
11 kings of the earth and all peoples, 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 Yahweh’s name, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted. Over heaven and earth is his glory.
14 He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise Yah!
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.
