Psalms 148

¹ Hallelujah! Praise the LORD from the heavens; give praise in the heights.

² Praise him, all you angels; give praise, all you hosts.

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

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

⁵ Let them all praise the LORD'S name; for the LORD commanded and they were created,

⁶ Assigned them duties forever, gave them tasks that will never change.

⁷ Praise the LORD from the earth, you sea monsters and all deep waters;

⁸ You lightning and hail, snow and clouds, storm winds that fulfill his command;

⁹ You mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars;

¹⁰ You animals wild and tame, you creatures that crawl and fly;

¹¹ You kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all who govern on earth;

¹² Young men and women too, old and young alike.

¹³ Let them all praise the LORD'S name, for his name alone is exalted, majestic above earth and heaven.

¹⁴ The LORD has lifted high the horn of his people; to the glory of all the faithful, of Israel, the people near to their God. Hallelujah!
