Psalms 148

¹Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord from the heavens; praise him in the heights above.

²Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his heavenly hosts.

³Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all you shining stars.

⁴Praise him, you highest heavens and you waters above the skies.

⁵Let them praise the name of the Lord, for at his command they were created,

⁶and he established them for ever and ever— he issued a decree that will never pass away.

⁷Praise the Lord from the earth, you great sea creatures and all ocean depths,

⁸lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy winds that do his bidding,

⁹you mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,

¹⁰wild animals and all cattle, small creatures and flying birds,

¹¹kings of the earth and all nations, you princes and all rulers on earth,

¹²young men and women, old men and children.

¹³Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted; his splendor is above the earth and the heavens.

¹⁴And 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.
