Psalm 148

Praise the Name of the Lord

¹Praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord from the heavens;

praise him in the heights!

²Praise him, all his angels;

praise him, all his hosts!

³Praise him, sun and moon,

praise him, all you shining stars!

⁴Praise him, you highest heavens,

and you waters above the heavens!

⁵Let them praise the name of the Lord!

For he commanded and they were created.

⁶And he established them forever and ever;

he gave a decree, and it shall not pass away.

⁷Praise the Lord from the earth,

you great sea creatures and all deeps,

⁸fire and hail, snow and mist,

stormy wind fulfilling his word!

⁹Mountains and all hills,

fruit trees and all cedars!

¹⁰Beasts and all livestock,

creeping things and flying birds!

¹¹Kings of the earth and all peoples,

princes and all rulers of the earth!

¹²Young men and maidens together,

old men and children!

¹³Let them praise the name of the Lord,

for his name alone is exalted;

his majesty is above earth and heaven.

¹⁴He has raised up a horn for his people,

praise for all his saints,

for the people of Israel who are near to him.

Praise the Lord!
