Psalm 148

All Creation Exhorted to Praise the Lord

¹Praise ye the Lord .

Praise ye the Lord from the heavens:

praise him in the heights.

²Praise ye him, all his angels:

praise ye him, all his hosts.

³Praise ye him, sun and moon:

praise him, all ye stars of light.

⁴Praise him, ye heavens of heavens,

and ye waters that be above the heavens.

⁵Let them praise the name of the Lord :

for he commanded, and they were created.

⁶He hath also stablished them for ever and ever:

he hath made a decree which shall not pass.

⁷Praise the Lord from the earth,

ye dragons, and all deeps:

⁸fire, and hail; snow, and vapor;

stormy wind fulfilling his word:

⁹mountains, and all hills;

fruitful trees, and all cedars:

¹⁰beasts, and all cattle;

creeping things, and flying fowl:

¹¹kings of the earth, and all people;

princes, and all judges of the earth:

¹²both young men, and maidens;

old men, and children:

¹³let them praise the name of the Lord :

for his name alone is excellent;

his glory is above the earth and heaven.

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 .
