Psalms 148

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

3Praise ye him, O sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars and light.

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

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

4Praise him, ye heavens of heavens: and let all the waters that are above the heavens

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

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

5Praise the name of the Lord. For he spoke, and they were made: he commanded, and they were created.

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

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

6He hath established them for ever, and for ages of ages: he hath made a decree, and it shall not pass away.

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

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

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

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

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

8Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy winds, which fulfil his word:

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

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

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

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

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

10Beasts and all cattle: serpents and feathered fowls:

10Beasts and all cattle; insects and winged birds:

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

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

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

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

12Young men and maidens: let the old with the younger, praise the name of the Lord:

12Young men and virgins; old men and children:

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

13For his name alone is exalted.

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.

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!

14The praise of him is above heaven and earth: and he hath exalted the horn of his people. A hymn to all his saints to the children of Israel, a people approaching to him. Alleluia.

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.
