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!^*
