Psalm 148
1Hallelujah!
Praise the Lord from the heavens.
Praise him in the heights above.
2Praise him, all his angels.
Praise him, his entire heavenly army.
3Praise him, sun and moon.
Praise him, all shining stars.
4Praise him, you highest heaven
and the water above the sky.
5Let them praise the name of the Lord
because they were created by his command.
6He set them in their places forever and ever.
He made it a law that no one can break.
7Praise the Lord from the earth.
Praise him, large sea creatures and all the ocean depths,
8lightning and hail,
snow and fog,
strong winds that obey his commands,
9mountains and all hills,
fruit trees and all cedar trees,
10wild animals and all domestic animals,
crawling animals and birds,
11kings of the earth and all its people,
officials and all judges on the earth,
12young men and women,
old and young together.
13Let them praise the name of the Lord
because his name is high above all others.
His glory is above heaven and earth.
14He has given his people a strong leader,#148:14 Or “given his people strength.”
someone praiseworthy for his faithful ones,
for the people of Israel, the people who are close to him.
Hallelujah!

Psalms 148
148
A Call for the Universe to Praise God
1Praise the LORD!
Praise the LORD from heaven,
you that live in the heights above.
2Praise him, all his angels,
all his heavenly armies.
3Praise him, sun and moon;
praise him, shining stars.
4Praise him, highest heavens,
and the waters above the sky.#148.4 waters above the sky: See Gen 1.6–7.
5Let them all praise the name of the LORD!
He commanded, and they were created;
6by his command they were fixed in their places for ever,
and they cannot disobey.#148.6 by his command… disobey; or he has fixed them in their places for all time, by a command that lasts for ever.
7Praise the LORD from the earth,
sea monsters and all ocean depths;
8lightning and hail, snow and clouds,
strong winds that obey his command.
9Praise him, hills and mountains,
fruit trees and forests;
10all animals, tame and wild,
reptiles and birds.
11Praise him, kings and all peoples,
princes and all other rulers;
12young women and young men,
old people and children too.
13Let them all praise the name of the LORD!
His name is greater than all others;
his glory is above earth and heaven.
14He made his nation strong,
so that all his people praise him —
the people of Israel, so dear to him.
Praise the LORD!
