148 Praise Yah!
    Praise Yahweh from the heavens!
    Praise him in the heights!
Praise him, all his angels!
    Praise him, all his army!
Praise him, sun and moon!
    Praise him, all you shining stars!
Praise him, you heavens of heavens,
    you waters that are above the heavens.
Let them praise Yahweh’s name,
    for he commanded, and they were created.
He has also established them forever and ever.
    He has made a decree which will not pass away.
Praise Yahweh from the earth,
    you great sea creatures, and all depths;
lightning and hail, snow and clouds;
    stormy wind, fulfilling his word;
mountains and all hills;
    fruit trees and all cedars;
10 wild animals and all livestock;
    small creatures and flying birds;
11 kings of the earth and all peoples;
    princes and all judges of the earth;
12 both young men and maidens;
    old men and children:
13 let them praise Yahweh’s name,
    for his name alone is exalted.
    His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
14 He 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 Yah!

Psalm 148

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise Him in the heights!

Praise Him, all His angels, praise Him, all His hosts!

Praise Him, sun and moon, praise Him, all you stars of light!

Praise Him, you highest heavens and you waters above the heavens!

Let them praise the name of the Lord, for He commanded and they were created.

He also established them forever and ever; He made a decree which shall not pass away [He fixed their bounds which cannot be passed over].

Praise the Lord from the earth, you sea monsters and all deeps!

You lightning, hail, fog, and frost, you stormy wind fulfilling His orders!

Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars!

10 Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and flying birds!

11 Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all rulers and judges of the earth!

12 Both young men and maidens, old men and children!

13 Let them praise and exalt the name of the Lord, for His name alone is exalted and supreme! His glory and majesty are above earth and heaven!

14 He has lifted up a horn for His people [giving them power, prosperity, dignity, and preeminence], a song of praise for all His godly ones, for the people of Israel, who are near to Him. Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)(A)
