Psalms

Psalm 148

Alleluia, a Psalm of Aggaeus and Zacharias.

1Praise you⌃ the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the highest.

2Praise you⌃ him, all his angels: praise you⌃ him, all his hosts.

3Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all you⌃ stars and light.

4Praise him, you⌃ heavens of heavens, and the water that is above the heavens.

5Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he spoke, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.

6He has established them for ever, even for ever and ever: he has made an ordinance, and it shall not pass away.

7Praise the Lord from the earth, you⌃ serpents, and all deeps.

8Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy wind; the things that perform his word.

9Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:

10wild beasts, and all cattle; reptiles, and winged birds:

11kings of the earth, and all peoples; princes, and all judges of the earth:

12young men and virgins, old men with youths:

13let them praise the name of the Lord: for his name only is exalted; his praise is above the earth and heaven,

14and he shall exalt the horn of his people, 1 there is a hymn for all his saints, even of the children of Israel, a people who draw near to him.

  1. Or, who is the praise of.
