Psalms 148
The Whole Creation Invoked to Praise the Lord.
1 [a]Praise [b]the Lord!
Praise the Lord (a)from the heavens;
Praise Him (b)in the heights!
2 Praise Him, (c)all His angels;
Praise Him, (d)all His hosts!
3 Praise Him, sun and moon;
Praise Him, all stars of light!
4 Praise Him, [c](e)highest heavens,
And the (f)waters that are above the heavens!
5 Let them praise the name of the Lord,
For (g)He commanded and they were created.
6 He has also (h)established them forever and ever;
He has made a (i)decree which will not pass away.
7 Praise the Lord from the earth,
(j)Sea monsters and all (k)deeps;
8 (l)Fire and hail, (m)snow and (n)clouds;
(o)Stormy wind, (p)fulfilling His word;
9 (q)Mountains and all hills;
Fruit (r)trees and all cedars;
10 (s)Beasts and all cattle;
(t)Creeping things and winged fowl;
11 (u)Kings of the earth and all peoples;
Princes and all judges of the earth;
12 Both young men and virgins;
Old men and children.
13 Let them praise the name of the Lord,
For His (v)name alone is exalted;
His (w)glory is above earth and heaven.
14 And He has (x)lifted up a horn for His people,
(y)Praise for all His godly ones;
Even for the sons of Israel, a people (z)near to Him.
[d]Praise [e]the Lord!
