Let All Creation Praise Yahweh

148Praise Yah.a

Praise Yahweh from the heavens;

praise him in the heights.

2Praise him, all his angels;

praise him, all his hosts.b

3Praise him, sun and moon;

praise him, all stars of light.

4Praise him, highest heavens,c

and waters above the heavens.

5Let them praise the name of Yahweh,

because he commanded and they were created.

6And he put them in place forever and ever,

by a decree he gave that will not pass away.

7Praise Yahweh from the earth—

great sea creatures and all deeps,

8fire and hail, snow and cloud,d

stormy wind doing his bidding,e

9the mountains and all hills,

fruit trees and all cedars,

10beasts and all cattle,f

creeping things and flying birds,g

11kings of the earth and all peoples,

princes and all judges of the earth,

12young men and young women as well,

the old together with the young—

13let them praise the name of Yahweh,

because his name alone is exalted.

His splendor is above earth and heavens.

14And he has raised high a horn for his people,

praise for all his faithful—

for the children of Israel,

a people close to him.

Praise Yah.h
