Psalms 148
148
1I Praise 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 host.
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 away.
7Praise the LORD from the earth,
Ye dragons, and all deeps:
8Fire and hail, snow and vapour;
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 peoples;
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 exalted:
His glory is above the earth and heaven.
14And he hath lifted up 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.

Come Praise the Lord
1Shout praises to the Lord!
Shout the Lord's praises
in the highest heavens.
2All of you angels,
and all who serve him above,
come and offer praise.
3Sun and moon,
and all of you bright stars,
come and offer praise.
4Highest heavens, and the water
above the highest heavens,#148.4 the water … heavens: It was believed that the earth and the heavens were surrounded by water.
come and offer praise.
5Let all things praise
the name of the Lord,
because they were created
at his command.
6He made them to last forever,
and nothing can change
what he has done.#148.6 nothing … done: Or “his laws will never change.”
7All creatures on earth,
you obey his commands,
so come praise the Lord!
8Sea monsters and the deep sea,
fire and hail, snow and frost,
and every stormy wind,
come praise the Lord!
9All mountains and hills,
fruit trees and cedars,
10every wild and tame animal,
all reptiles and birds,
come praise the Lord!
11Every king and every ruler,
all nations on earth,
12every man and every woman,
young people and old,
come praise the Lord!
13All creation, come praise
the name of the Lord.
Praise his name alone.
The glory of God is greater
than heaven and earth.
14Like a bull with mighty horns,
the Lord protects
his faithful nation Israel,
because they belong to him.
Shout praises to the Lord!
