Psalm 14825

148:1 Praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord from the sky!

Praise him in the heavens!

148:2 Praise him, all his angels!1

Praise him, all his heavenly assembly!2

148:3 Praise him, O sun and moon!

Praise him, all you shiny stars!3

148:4 Praise him, O highest heaven,

and you waters above the sky!4

148:5 Let them praise the name of the Lord,

for he gave the command and they came into existence.

148:6 He established them so they would endure;5

he issued a decree that will not be revoked.6

148:7 Praise the Lord from the earth,

you sea creatures and all you ocean depths,

148:8 O fire and hail, snow and clouds,7

O stormy wind that carries out his orders,8

148:9 you mountains and all you hills,

you fruit trees and all you cedars,

148:10 you animals and all you cattle,

you creeping things and birds,

148:11 you kings of the earth and all you nations,

you princes and all you leaders9 on the earth,

148:12 you young men and young women,

you elderly, along with you children!

148:13 Let them praise the name of the Lord,

for his name alone is exalted;

his majesty extends over the earth and sky.

148:14 He has made his people victorious,10

and given all his loyal followers reason to praise—

the Israelites, the people who are close to him.11

Praise the Lord!
