Psalms 148

1Alleluia, a Psalm of Haggai and Zechariah.

Praise ye the Lord from the heavens:

Praise him in the highest.

2Praise ye him, all his angels:

Praise ye him, all his hosts.

3Praise him, sun and moon:

Praise him, all ye stars and light.

4Praise him, ye heavens of heavens,

And the water that is above the heavens.

5Let them praise the name of the Lord:

For he spoke, and they were made;

He commanded, and they were created.

6He has established them forever, even forever and ever:

He has made an ordinance, and it shall not pass away.

7Praise the Lord from the earth,

Ye serpents, and all deeps.

8Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy wind;

The things that perform his word.

9Mountains, and all hills;

Fruitful trees, and all cedars:

10Wild beasts, and all cattle;

Reptiles, and winged birds:

11Kings of the earth, and all peoples;

Princes, and all judges of the earth:

12Young men and virgins,

Old men with youths:

13Let them praise the name of the Lord:

For his name only is exalted;

His praise is above the earth and heaven,

14And he shall exalt the horn of his people,

There is a hymn for all his saints,

Even of the children of Israel, a people who draw near to him.
