Psalm 148

Psalm 148

Praise the Lord.^a

Praise the Lord from the heavens;^b

praise him in the heights above.

Praise him, all his angels;^c

praise him, all his heavenly hosts.^d

Praise him, sun^e and moon;

praise him, all you shining stars.

Praise him, you highest heavens^f

and you waters above the skies.^g

Let them praise the name^h of the Lord,

for at his commandⁱ they were created,

and he established them for ever and ever—

he issued a decree^j that will never pass away.

Praise the Lord^k from the earth,

you great sea creatures^l and all ocean depths,^m

lightning and hail,ⁿ snow and clouds,

stormy winds that do his bidding,^o

you mountains and all hills,^p

fruit trees and all cedars,

wild animals^q and all cattle,

small creatures and flying birds,

kings^r of the earth and all nations,

you princes and all rulers on earth,

young men and women,

old men and children.

Let them praise the name of the Lord,^s

for his name alone is exalted;

his splendor^t is above the earth and the heavens.^u

And he has raised up for his people a horn,^v

the praise^w of all his faithful servants,^x

of Israel, the people close to his heart.^y

Praise the Lord.
