Psalm 148:7-14

Good News Translation

⁷ Praise the Lord from the earth,
    sea monsters and all ocean depths;
⁸ lightning and hail, snow and clouds,
    strong winds that obey his command.

⁹ Praise him, hills and mountains,
    fruit trees and forests;
¹⁰ all animals, tame and wild,
    reptiles and birds.

¹¹ Praise him, kings and all peoples,
    princes and all other rulers;
¹² young women and young men,
    old people and children too.

¹³ Let them all praise the name of the Lord!
His name is greater than all others;
    his glory is above earth and heaven.
¹⁴ He made his nation strong,
    so that all his people praise him—
    the people of Israel, so dear to him.

Praise the Lord!
