Psalms 148

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Hallelujah! Praise the LORD from the heavens; give praise in the heights.	1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights.
2 Praise him, all you angels; give praise, all you hosts.	2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
3 Praise him, sun and moon; give praise, all shining stars.	3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.
4 Praise him, highest heavens, you waters above the heavens.	4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.
5 Let them all praise the LORD'S name; for the LORD commanded and they were created,	5 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.
6 Assigned them duties forever, gave them tasks that will never change.	6 He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, you sea monsters and all deep waters;	7 Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:
8 You lightning and hail, snow and clouds, storm winds that fulfill his command;	8 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word:
9 You mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars;	9 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
10 You animals wild and tame, you creatures that crawl and fly;	10 Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:
11 You kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all who govern on earth;	11 Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:
12 Young men and women too, old and young alike.	12 Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:
13 Let them all praise the LORD'S name, for his name alone is exalted, majestic above earth and heaven.	13 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the 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!	14 He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD.
