Psalm 148

Vers 1

Praise God. From heavens praise the Lord,
in heights praise to him be.
All ye his angels, praise ye him;
his hosts all, praise him ye.

Vers 2

O praise ye him, both sun and moon,
praise him, all stars of light.
Ye heav’ns of heav’ns him praise, and floods
above the heavens’ height.

Vers 3

Let all the creatures praise the name
of our almighty Lord:
For he commanded, and they were
created by his word.

Vers 4

He also, for all times to come,
hath them establish’d sure;
He hath appointed them a law,
which ever shall endure.

Vers 5

Praise ye JEHOVAH from the earth,
dragons, and ev’ry deep:
Fire, hail, snow, vapour, stormy wind,
his word that fully keep.

Vers 6

All hills and mountains, fruitful trees,
and all ye cedars high:
Beasts, and all cattle, creeping things,
and all ye birds that fly.

Vers 7

Kings of the earth, all nations,
princes, earth’s judges all:
Both young men, yea, and maidens too,
old men, and children small.

Vers 8

Let them God’s name praise; for his name
alone is excellent:
His glory reacheth far above
the earth and firmament.

Vers 9

His people’s horn, the praise of all
his saints, exalteth he;
Ev’n Isr’el’s seed, a people near
to him. The Lord praise ye.
