PSALM 148
First Version
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Praise God. From heavens praise the Lord,
in heights praise to him be.
2All ye his angels, praise ye him;
his hosts all, praise him ye.
3O praise ye him, both sun and moon,
praise him, all stars of light.
4Ye heav'ns of heav'ns him praise, and floods
above the heavens' height.
5Let all the creatures praise the name
of our almighty Lord:
For he commanded, and they were
created by his word.
6He also, for all times to come,
hath them establish'd sure;
He hath appointed them a law,
which ever shall endure.
7Praise ye JEHOVAH from the earth,
dragons, and ev'ry deep:
8Fire, hail, snow, vapour, stormy wind,
his word that fully keep.
9All hills and mountains, fruitful trees,
and all ye cedars high:
10Beasts, and all cattle, creeping things,
and all ye birds that fly.
11Kings of the earth, all nations,
princes, earth's judges all:
12Both young men, yea, and maidens too,
old men, and children small.
13Let them God's name praise; for his name
alone is excellent:
His glory reacheth far above
the earth and firmament.
14His people's horn, the praise of all
his saints, exalteth he;
Ev'n Isr'el's seed, a people near
to him. The Lord praise ye.

PSALM 148.
1Alleluia.
Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise ye him in the high places.
2Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
3Praise ye him, O sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars and light.
4Praise him, ye heavens of heavens: and let all the waters that are above the heavens
5praise the name of the Lord. For he spoke, and they were made: he commanded, and they were created.
6He hath established them for ever, and for ages of ages: he hath made a decree, and it shall not pass away.
7Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all ye deeps:
8Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy winds which fulfil his word:
9Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars:
10Beasts and all cattle: serpents and feathered fowls:
11Kings of the earth and all people: princes and all judges of the earth:
12Young men and maidens: let the old with the younger, praise the name of the Lord:
13for his name alone is exalted.
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.
