Psalms 148

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

1Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the heights.

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

2Praise 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.

3Praise ye 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.

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

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

5Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he 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.

6He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.

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

7Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:

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

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

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

9Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:

10Beasts and all cattle; insects and winged birds:

10Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:

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

11Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:

12Young men and virgins; old men and children:

12Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:

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.

13Let them praise the name of the Lord: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.

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.

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.
