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

Hallelujah!

Praise Yahweh from the heavens.
    Praise him in the heights above.
Praise him, all his angels.
    Praise him, his entire heavenly army.
Praise him, sun and moon.
    Praise him, all shining stars.
Praise him, you highest heaven
    and the water above the sky.
Let them praise the name of Yahweh
    because they were created by his command.
He set them in their places forever and ever.
    He made it a law that no one can break.

Praise Yahweh from the earth.
    Praise him, large sea creatures and all the ocean depths,
lightning and hail,
    snow and fog,
    strong winds that obey his commands,
mountains and all hills,
    fruit trees and all cedar trees,
10 wild animals and all domestic animals,
    crawling animals and birds,
11 kings of the earth and all its people,
    officials and all judges on the earth,
12 young men and women,
    old and young together.
13 Let them praise the name of Yahweh
    because his name is high above all others.
        His glory is above heaven and earth.
14 He has given his people a strong leader,[a]
    someone praiseworthy for his faithful ones,
        for the people of Israel, the people who are close to him.

Hallelujah!
