Psalms 148

¹Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens! Praise him in the heights! ²Praise him, all his angels! Praise him, all his army! ³Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars! ⁴Praise him, you heavens of heavens, you waters that are above the heavens. ⁵Let them praise the LORD’s name, for he commanded, and they were created. ⁶He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away. ⁷Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths, ⁸lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind, fulfilling his word, ⁹mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars, ¹⁰wild animals and all livestock, small creatures and flying birds, 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 LORD’s name, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens. ¹⁴He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise the LORD!
