Psalm 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 host!

[3]   Praise him, sun and moon;   
         praise him, all you shining stars!   
[4]   Praise him, you highest heavens,   
         and you waters above the heavens!

[5]   Let them praise the name of the Lord,   
         for he commanded and they were created.   
[6]   He established them forever and ever;   
         he fixed their bounds, which cannot be passed.

[7]   Praise the Lord from the earth,   
         you sea monsters and all deeps,   
[8]   fire and hail, snow and frost,   
         stormy wind fulfilling his command!

[9]   Mountains and all hills,   
         fruit trees and all cedars!   
[10]  Wild animals and all cattle,   
         creeping things and flying birds!

[11]  Kings of the earth and all peoples,   
         princes and all rulers of the earth!   
[12]  Young men and women alike,   
         old and young together!

[13]  Let them praise the name of the Lord,   
         for his name alone is exalted;   
         his glory is above earth and heaven.   
[14]  He has raised up a horn for his people,   
         praise for all his faithful,   
         for the people of Israel who are close to him.   
    Praise the Lord!
