Psalms 148

1Give praise to the Lord. Let the Lord be praised from the heavens: give him praise in the skies.

1Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah from the heavens; praise him in the heights.

2Give praise to him, all you his angels: give praise to him, all his armies.

2 Praise ye him, all his angels; praise ye him, all his hosts.

3Give praise to him, you sun and moon: give praise to him, all you stars of light.

3 Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all ye stars of light.

4Give praise to him, you highest heavens, and you waters which are over the heavens.

4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.

5Let them give praise to the name of the Lord: for he gave the order, and they were made.

5 Let them praise the name of Jehovah, for he it is that commanded, and they were created:

6He has put them in their places for ever; he has given them their limits which may not be broken.

6 And he established them for ever and ever; he made [for them] a statute which shall not pass.

7Give praise to the Lord from the earth, you great sea-beasts, and deep places:

7 Praise Jehovah from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;

8Fire and rain of ice, snow and mists; storm-wind, doing his word:

8 Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind fulfilling his word;

9Mountains and all hills; fruit-trees and all trees of the mountains:

9 Mountains and all hills, fruit-trees and all cedars;

10Beasts and all cattle; insects and winged birds:

10 Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;

11Kings of the earth, and all peoples; rulers and all judges of the earth:

11 Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth;

12Young men and virgins; old men and children:

12 Both young men and maidens, old men with youths, —

13Let them give glory to the name of the Lord: for his name only is to be praised: his kingdom is over the earth and the heaven.

13 Let them praise the name of Jehovah: for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above the earth and the heavens.

14He has put on high the horn of his people, for the praise of all his saints; even the children of Israel, a people which is near to him. Let the Lord be praised.

14 And he hath lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, [even] of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Hallelujah!
