Psalms 148

PSALM 148

The Whole Creation Invoked to Praise the Lord.

1Praise the Lord !

Praise the Lord from the heavens;

Praise Him in the heights!

2Praise Him, all His angels;

Praise Him, all His hosts!

3Praise Him, sun and moon;

Praise Him, all stars of light!

4Praise Him, highest heavens,

And the waters that are above the heavens!

5Let them praise the name of the Lord ,

For He commanded and they were created.

6He has also established them forever and ever;

He has made a decree which will not pass away.

7Praise the Lord from the earth,

Sea monsters and all deeps;

8Fire and hail, snow and clouds;

Stormy wind, fulfilling His word;

9Mountains and all hills;

Fruit trees and all cedars;

10Beasts and all cattle;

Creeping things and winged fowl;

11Kings of the earth and all peoples;

Princes and all judges of the earth;

12Both young men and virgins;

Old men and children.

13Let them praise the name of the Lord ,

For His name alone is exalted;

His glory is above earth and heaven.

14And He has lifted up a horn for His people,

Praise for all His godly ones;

Even for the sons of Israel, a people near to Him.

Praise the Lord !
