Psalms 148
1Alleluia. Praise the Lord from the heavens. Praise him on the heights.
2Praise him, all his Angels. Praise him, all his hosts.
3Praise him, sun and moon. Praise him, all stars and light.
4Praise him, heavens of the heavens. And let all the waters that are above the heavens
5praise the name of the Lord. For he spoke, and they became. He commanded, and they were created.
6He has stationed them in eternity, and for age after age. He has established a precept, and it will not pass away.
7Praise the Lord from the earth: you dragons and all deep places,
8fire, hail, snow, ice, windstorms, which do his word,
9mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars,
10wild beasts and all cattle, serpents and feathered flying things,
11kings of the earth and all peoples, leaders and all judges of the earth,
12young men and virgins. Let the older men with the younger men, praise the name of the Lord.
13For his name alone is exalted.
14Confession of him is beyond heaven and earth, and he has exalted the horn of his people. A hymn to all his holy ones, to the sons of Israel, to a people close to him. Alleluia.
1Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the heights.
2Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
3Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.
4Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.
5Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he commanded, and they were created.
6He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.
7Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:
8Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word:
9Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
10Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:
11Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:
12Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:
13Let them praise the name of the Lord: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.
14He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the Lord.
