Psalm 148
148
All Creation Exhorted to Praise the Lord
1Praise 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 hosts.
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.
7Praise the Lord from the earth,
ye dragons, and all deeps:
8fire, and hail; snow, and vapor;
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 people;
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 excellent;
his glory is above the earth and heaven.
14He also exalteth 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.

Psalms 148
148
1Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from heaven; praise him in the heights above!
2Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his heavenly armies!
3Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
4Praise him, highest heavens, and the waters above the heavens!#148:4. Understood as the heavenly dome above, where rain came from.
5Let them all praise the Lord and his nature,#148:5. Literally, “name.” for he gave the order and they were created.
6He placed them in their positions forever and ever; he established a law that will never end.
7Praise the Lord from the earth, and creatures from all the depths of the seas,
8lightning#148:8. Or “fire.” and hail, snow and clouds, and stormy wind—everything that does as he commands.
9Mountains and all the hills, fruit trees and all the trees of the forest,
10wild animals and all livestock, crawling animals and wild birds,
11earthly kings and all peoples, leaders and rulers of the world,
12young men and women, old people and children—
13Let them all praise the Lord, for his reputation#148:13. Literally, “name.” is unequalled; his glory is above anything on earth or in heaven.
14He has given his people a source of strength,#148:14. Literally, “he has raised up a horn for his people.” bringing praise to his faithful followers, the people of Israel who are dear to him. Praise the Lord!
