Psalms 148
Praise the Name of the Lord
1 (a)Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord (b)from the heavens;
praise him (c)in the heights!
2 Praise him, all his angels;
praise him, all his (d)hosts!
3 Praise him, sun and moon,
praise him, all you shining stars!
4 Praise him, you (e)highest heavens,
and you (f)waters above the heavens!
5 (g)Let them praise the name of the Lord!
For (h)he commanded and they were created.
6 And he (i)established them forever and ever;
he gave (j)a decree, and it shall not (k)pass away.[a]
7 Praise the Lord (l)from the earth,
you (m)great sea creatures and all deeps,
8 (n)fire and hail, (o)snow and mist,
(p)stormy wind (q)fulfilling his word!
9 (r)Mountains and all hills,
(s)fruit trees and all (t)cedars!
10 (u)Beasts and all livestock,
creeping things and (v)flying birds!
11 Kings of the earth and (w)all peoples,
princes and all rulers of the earth!
12 Young men and maidens together,
old men and children!
13 (x)Let them praise the name of the Lord,
for (y)his name alone is exalted;
(z)his majesty is above earth and heaven.
14 He has (aa)raised up a horn for his people,
(ab)praise for all his saints,
for the people of Israel who are (ac)near to him.
(ad)Praise the Lord!
