148:1  Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens;
Praise Him in the heights!

148:2  Praise Him, all His angels;
Praise Him, all His hosts!

148:3  Praise Him, sun and moon;
Praise Him, all you stars of light!

148:4  Praise Him, you heavens of heavens,
And you waters above the heavens!

148:5  Let them praise the name of the LORD,
For He commanded and they were created.

148:6  He also established them forever and ever;
He made a decree which shall not pass away.

148:7  Praise the LORD from the earth,
You great sea creatures and all the depths;

148:8  Fire and hail, snow and clouds;
Stormy wind, fulfilling His word;

148:9  Mountains and all hills;
Fruitful trees and all cedars;

148:10  Beasts and all cattle;
Creeping things and flying fowl;

148:11  Kings of the earth and all peoples;
Princes and all judges of the earth;

148:12  Both young men and maidens;
Old men and children.

148:13  Let them praise the name of the LORD,
For His name alone is exalted;
His glory is above the earth and heaven.

148:14  And He has exalted the horn of His people,
The praise of all His saints—
Of the children of Israel,
A people near to Him. Praise the LORD!
