PsalmsPsalm 148 |
|
1 PRAISE the LORD. Praise the LORD from the heavens; praise him in the heights. |
|
2 Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his hosts. |
|
3 Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all stars and light. |
|
4 Praise him, heavens of heavens, and waters that are above the heavens. |
|
5 Let them praise the name of the LORD; for he spoke and they were made, he commanded and they were created. |
|
6 He has also established them for ever and ever; he has made a decree which shall not pass. |
|
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, you great serpents and all deeps; |
|
8 Fire and hail, snow and ice, stormy wind fulfilling his word, |
|
9 Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars, |
|
10 Wild beasts and all cattle, creeping things and flying fowl, |
|
11 Kings of the earth and all people, princes and all judges of the earth, |
|
12 Both boys and maidens, old men and young men, let them praise the name of the LORD; |
|
13 For his name alone is excellent; his glory is on earth and in heaven. |
|
14 He also exalts 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. |
