Praise the Lord(A) from the earth,
    you great sea creatures(B) and all ocean depths,(C)
lightning and hail,(D) snow and clouds,
    stormy winds that do his bidding,(E)
you mountains and all hills,(F)
    fruit trees and all cedars,
10 wild animals(G) and all cattle,
    small creatures and flying birds,
11 kings(H) of the earth and all nations,
    you princes and all rulers on earth,
12 young men and women,
    old men and children.

13 Let them praise the name of the Lord,(I)
    for his name alone is exalted;
    his splendor(J) is above the earth and the heavens.(K)
14 And he has raised up for his people a horn,[a](L)
    the praise(M) of all his faithful servants,(N)
    of Israel, the people close to his heart.(O)

Praise the Lord.

  1. Psalm 148:14 Horn here symbolizes strength.

Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:

Fire, and hail; snow, and vapours; stormy wind fulfilling his word:

Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:

10 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 young men, and maidens; old men, and children:

13 Let them praise the name of the Lord: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.

14 He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the Lord.
