Psalm 148–150

¹Praise ye Jah! Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens, Praise ye Him in high places.

²Praise ye Him, all His messengers, Praise ye Him, all His hosts.

³Praise ye Him, sun and moon, Praise ye Him, all stars of light.

⁴Praise ye Him, heavens of heavens, And ye waters that are above the heavens.

⁵They do praise the name of Jehovah, For He commanded, and they were created.

⁶And He establisheth them for ever to the age, A statute He gave, and they pass not over.

⁷Praise ye Jehovah from the earth, Dragons and all deeps,

⁸Fire and hail, snow and vapour, Whirlwind doing His word;

⁹The mountains and all heights, Fruit tree, and all cedars,

¹⁰The wild beast, and all cattle, Creeping thing, and winged bird,

¹¹Kings of earth, and all peoples, Chiefs, and all judges of earth,

¹²Young men, and also maidens, Aged men, with youths,

¹³They praise the name of Jehovah, For His name alone hath been set on high, His honour is above earth and heavens.

¹⁴And He exalteth the horn of His people, The praise of all His saints, Of the sons of Israel, a people near Him. Praise ye Jah!

Psalm 149

¹Praise ye Jah! Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.

²Israel doth rejoice in his Maker, Sons of Zion do joy in their king.

³They praise His name in a dance, With timbrel and harp sing praise to Him.

⁴For Jehovah is pleased with His people, He beautifieth the humble with salvation.

⁵Exult do saints in honour, They sing aloud on their beds.

⁶The exaltation of God is in their throat, And a two-edged sword in their hand.

⁷To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples.

⁸To bind their kings with chains, And their honoured ones with fetters of iron,

⁹To do among them the judgment written, An honour it is for all his saints. Praise ye Jah!

Psalm 150

¹Praise ye Jah! Praise ye God in His holy place, Praise Him in the expanse of His strength.

²Praise Him in His mighty acts, Praise Him according to the abundance of His greatness.

³Praise Him with blowing of trumpet, Praise Him with psaltery and harp.

⁴Praise Him with timbrel and dance, Praise Him with stringed instruments and organ.

⁵Praise Him with cymbals of sounding, Praise Him with cymbals of shouting.

⁶All that doth breathe doth praise Jah! Praise ye Jah!
