Psalms 148

1 Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord from the heavens;
Praise Him in the heights! 2 Praise Him, all His angels;
Praise Him, all His hosts! 3 Praise Him, sun and moon;
Praise Him, all you stars of light! 4 Praise Him, you heavens of heavens,
And you waters above the heavens! 5 Let them praise the name of the Lord,
For He commanded and they were created. 6 He also established them forever and ever;
He made a decree which shall not pass away. 7 Praise the Lord from the earth,
You great sea creatures and all the depths; 8 Fire and hail, snow and clouds;
Stormy wind, fulfilling His word; 9 Mountains and all hills;
Fruitful trees and all cedars; 10 Beasts and all cattle;
Creeping things and flying fowl; 11 Kings of the earth and all peoples;
Princes and all judges of the earth; 12 Both young men and maidens;
Old men and children. 13 Let them praise the name of the Lord,
For His name alone is exalted;
His glory is above the earth and heaven. 14 And He has exalted the horn of His people,
The praise of all His saints--
Of the children of Israel,
A people near to Him.
Praise the Lord!
