Psalm 148

1Praise ye Jehovah.

Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens:

Praise him in the heights.

2Praise ye him, all his angels:

Praise ye him, all his host.

3Praise ye him, sun and moon:

Praise him, all ye stars of light.

4Praise him, ye heavens of heavens,

And ye waters that are above the heavens.

5Let them praise the name of Jehovah;

For he commanded, and they were created.

6He hath also established them for ever and ever:

He hath made a decree which shall not pass away.

7Praise Jehovah from the earth,

Ye sea-monsters, and all deeps.

8Fire and hail, snow and vapor;

Stormy wind, fulfilling his word;

9Mountains and all hills;

Fruitful trees and all cedars;

10Beasts and all cattle;

Creeping things and flying birds;

11Kings of the earth and all peoples;

Princes and all judges of the earth;

12Both young men and virgins;

Old men and children:

13Let them praise the name of Jehovah;

For his name alone is exalted;

His glory is above the earth and the heavens.

14And he hath lifted up the horn of his people,

The praise of all his saints;

Even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him.

Praise ye Jehovah.

ASV

About American Standard Version

The ASV has long been regarded by many scholars as the most literal English translation since the King James Version—maybe the most literal translation ever. This has made the translation very popular for careful English Bible study, but not for ease of reading. While the KJV was translated entirely from “western manuscripts,” the ASV 1901 was influenced also by the older “eastern manuscripts” that form the basis for most of our modern English translations. Because the ASV 1901 is very difficult to find in print, Logos is pleased to be able to preserve and distribute this significant work. This is an excellent choice for comparative English study.
