Psalms 148

¹Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens! Praise him in the heights!

²Praise him, all his angels! Praise him, all his army!

³Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!

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

⁵Let them praise the LORD’s name, 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, you great sea creatures, and all depths,

⁸lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind, fulfilling his word,

⁹mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,

¹⁰wild animals and all livestock, small creatures and flying birds,

¹¹kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth,

¹²both young men and maidens, old men and children.

¹³Let them praise the LORD’s name, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.

¹⁴He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise the LORD!
