Psalm 148

Creation’s Praise of the Lord

1 * Hallelujah!

Praise the Lord from the heavens;

praise Him in the heights. n

2 Praise Him, all His angels;

praise Him, all His * hosts. o

3 Praise Him, sun and moon;

praise Him, all you shining stars. p

4 Praise Him, highest heavens,

and you waters above the heavens. q

5 Let them praise the name of * Yahweh,

for He commanded, and they were created. r

6 He set them in position forever and ever;

He gave an order that will never pass away. s

7 Praise the Lord from the earth,

all sea monsters and ocean depths, t

8 lightning u and hail, snow and cloud,

powerful wind that executes His command, v

9 mountains and all hills,

fruit trees and all cedars, w

10 wild animals and all cattle,

creatures that crawl and flying birds, x

11 kings of the earth and all peoples,

princes and all judges of the earth, y

12 young men as well as young women,

old and young together. z

13 Let them praise the name of Yahweh,

for His name alone is exalted.

His majesty covers heaven and earth. a

14 He has raised up a * horn for His people,

resulting in praise to all His godly ones,

to the Israelites, the people close to Him. b

Hallelujah!
