Psalms 148
1 Alleluia,
a Psalm of Haggai and Zacharias.
Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the highest.
2 Praise ye him, all his angels:
praise ye him, all his hosts. 3 Praise
him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars and light.
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens,
and the water that is above the heavens.
5 Let them praise the name of the
Lord: for he spoke, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.
6 He has established them for ever,
even for ever and ever: he has made an ordinance, and it shall not pass away.
7 Praise the Lord from the earth, ye
serpents, and all deeps. 8 Fire, hail,
snow, ice, stormy wind; the things that perform his word.
9 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful
trees, and all cedars: 10 wild
beasts, and all cattle; reptiles, and winged birds:
11 kings of the earth, and all
peoples; princes, and all judges of the earth:
12 young men and virgins, old men
with youths: 13 let them praise the
name of the Lord: for his name only is exalted; his praise is above the earth
and heaven, 14 and he shall exalt the
horn of his people,
aOr, who is the praise of.there is a hymn for all his saints,
even of the children of Israel, a people who draw
near to him.
