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!
