• Psalm 148

  • 1 Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord from the heavens; praise him in the heights above.
  • 2 Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his heavenly hosts.
  • 3 Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all you shining stars.
  • 4 Praise him, you highest heavens and you waters above the skies.
  • 5 Let them praise the name of the Lord, for at his command they were created,
  • 6 and he established them for ever and ever— he issued a decree that will never pass away.
  • 7 Praise the Lord from the earth, you great sea creatures and all ocean depths,
  • 8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy winds that do his bidding,
  • 9 you mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
  • 10 wild animals and all cattle, small creatures and flying birds,
  • 11 kings 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, for his name alone is exalted; his splendor is above the earth and the heavens.
  • 14 And he has raised up for his people a horn, the praise of all his faithful servants, of Israel, the people close to his heart. Praise the Lord.
