148:1 O 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 waters that are above the heavens. |
148:5 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for He commanded and they were created. |
148:6 He has also established them forever and ever; He has made a decree which shall not pass away. |
148:7 Let praise be to the LORD from the earth, you sea monsters, and all the depths; |
148:8 Fire and hail, snow and vapor, stormy winds fulfilling His word, |
148:9 Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars, |
148:10 Beasts and all livestock, creeping things and flying birds, |
148:11 Kings of the earth and all people, 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 the heavens. |
148:14 And He has also lifted up a horn for His people, praise for all His saints, even of the children of Israel, a people near to Him. O praise the LORD! |
