The World Should Praise the Lord
148 Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord from the ·skies [heavens].
Praise him ·high above the earth [in the heights].
2 Praise him, all you ·angels [messengers].
Praise him, all ·you armies of heaven [his hosts; C the angelic army].
3 Praise him, sun and moon.
Praise him, all you ·shining stars [L stars of light].
4 Praise him, ·highest heavens [L heaven of heavens]
and you waters above the ·sky [heavens].
5 Let them praise the name of the Lord,
because ·they were created by his command [L he commands and they were created; Gen. 1].
6 He ·put them in place [L made them stand] forever and ever;
he made a ·law [statute; requirement; ordinance] that will never ·change [pass].
7 Praise the Lord from the earth,
you large sea ·animals [monsters; C like Leviathan; 74:12–17; 104:26; Gen. 1:21; Job 3:8; 41; Is. 27:1] and all the ·oceans [deeps],
8 ·lightning [L fire] and hail, snow and ·mist [cloud; or smoke],
and stormy winds that ·obey him [L do his word],
9 mountains and all hills,
fruit trees and all cedars,
10 wild animals and all cattle,
crawling animals and birds,
11 kings of the earth and all ·nations [peoples],
princes and all ·rulers [judges] of the earth,
12 young men and women,
old people and ·children [youth].
13 Praise the name of the Lord,
because ·he [L his name] alone is ·great [exalted].
·He is more wonderful than [L His splendor is over] heaven and earth.
14 God has ·given his people a king [exalted/raised a horn over his people; C an animal’s horn symbolizes power].
He should be praised by all ·who belong to him [his saints/loyal ones];
he should be praised by the ·Israelites [L sons/T children of Israel], the people ·closest to his heart [L nearest to him].
Praise the Lord!

宇宙萬物都要讚美 神
148 你們要讚美耶和華。
你們要從天上讚美耶和華，
在高天讚美他。
2 他的眾使者啊！你們要讚美他；
他的眾軍啊！你們也要讚美他。
3 太陽和月亮啊！你們要讚美他；
光亮的星星啊！你們都要讚美他。
4 天上的天啊！你們要讚美他。
天上的水啊！你們要讚美他。
5 願這一切都讚美耶和華的名，
因為他一發令，它們就都造成。
6 他把它們立定，直到永永遠遠；
他立了定律，永不廢去（“廢去”或譯：“越過”）。
7 你們要從地上讚美耶和華。
海怪和一切深海，
8 火和冰雹，雪和雲霧，
執行他命令的狂風，
9 大山和一切小山，
果樹和一切香柏樹，
10 野獸和一切牲畜，
爬行的動物和飛鳥，
11 地上的君王和萬族的人民，
領袖和地上所有的審判官，
12 少男和少女，
老年人和孩童，
13 願這一切都讚美耶和華的名，
因為獨有他的名被尊崇，
他的榮耀超越天地。
14 他使自己子民的角得以高舉（“他使自己子民的角得以高舉”或譯：“他為自己的子民興起一個君王”；“君王”原文作“角”），
他所有的聖民，就是和他接近的以色列人，都讚美他。
你們要讚美耶和華。
