Psalm 148


Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: Praise him in the heights.

Praise ye him, all his angels: Praise ye him, all his host.

Praise ye him, sun and moon: Praise him, all ye stars of light.

Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, And ye waters that are above the heavens.

Let them praise the name of  the LORD; For he commanded, and they were created.

He hath also established them for ever and ever: He hath made a decree which shall not pass away.

Praise Jehovah from the earth, Ye sea-monsters, and all deeps.

Fire and hail, snow and vapor; Stormy wind, fulfilling his word;

Mountains and all hills; Fruitful trees and all cedars;

Beasts and all cattle; Creeping things and flying birds;

Kings of the earth and all peoples; Princes and all judges of the earth;

Both young men and virgins; Old men and children:

Let them praise the name of the LORD ; For his name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
