Psalm 148
Vers 1
O praise the LORD! His name exalt!
Praise him from highest heaven’s vault.
You angels, from your lofty post
praise him with all the heavenly host.
You sun and moon, you constellations,
shine forth your light in adoration;
join with the clouds as they ascend
in praise and worship without end.
Vers 2
Let them extol the LORD, for he
created them by his decree,
and by a law that will endure
he fixed their bounds for evermore.
Let earth as well show him devotion:
praise him, great creatures of the ocean,
you frost and snow, you fire and hail;
praise him, you storms that do his will.
Vers 3
Praise him, you hills and mountains all,
you fruit trees and you cedars tall;
wild beasts and cattle, creeping things,
praise him with every bird that sings.
You kings and rulers of all nations,
praise him with joyful adoration.
Young men and maidens, join in song;
old men and children, sing along!
Vers 4
Let all creation praise his name,
extol his all-surpassing fame.
His glory covers earth and sky.
He raised his people’s horn on high,
made it for Israel, his nation,
the theme of praise and celebration.
Close to his heart he keeps his own.
O praise the LORD! Praise him alone!
