Psalm 148

All Creation Exhorted to Praise the LORD

1481 Praise the Lord ! Praise the Lord from the heavens ; Praise Him in the heights ! 2 Praise Him, all His angels ; Praise Him, all His hosts ! 3 Praise Him, sun and moon ; Praise Him, all stars of light ! 4 Praise Him, highest heavens , And the waters that are above e the heavens ! 5 Let them praise the name of the Lord , For He commanded and they were created . 6 He has also established them forever and ever ; He has made a decree which will not pass away .

7 Praise the Lord from the earth , Sea monsters and all deeps ; 8 Fire and hail , snow and clouds ; Stormy wind , fulfilling His word ; 9 Mountains and all hills ; Fruit trees and all cedars ; 10 Beasts and all cattle ; Creeping things and winged fowl ; 11 Kings of the earth and all peoples ; Princes and all judges of the earth ; 12 Both young men and virgins ; Old men and children . 13 Let them praise the name of the Lord , For His name alone is exalted ; His glory is above earth and heaven . 14 And He has lifted up a horn for His people , Praise for all His godly ones ; Even for the sons of Israel , a people near to Him. Praise the Lord !

Psalm 148

All Creation Exhorted to Praise the LORD

1481 Give praise to the Lord. Let the Lord be praised from the heavens: give him praise in the skies. 2 Give praise to him, all you his angels: give praise to him, all his armies. 3 Give praise to him, you sun and moon: give praise to him, all you stars of light. 4 Give praise to him, you highest heavens, and you waters which are over the heavens. 5 Let them give praise to the name of the Lord: for he gave the order, and they were made. 6 He has put them in their places for ever; he has given them their limits which may not be broken.

7 Give praise to the Lord from the earth, you great sea-beasts, and deep places: 8 Fire and rain of ice, snow and mists; storm-wind, doing his word: 9 Mountains and all hills; fruit-trees and all trees of the mountains: 10 Beasts and all cattle; insects and winged birds: 11 Kings of the earth, and all peoples; rulers and all judges of the earth: 12 Young men and virgins; old men and children: 13 Let them give glory to the name of the Lord: for his name only is to be praised: his kingdom is over the earth and the heaven. 14 He has put on high the horn of his people, for the praise of all his saints; even the children of Israel, a people which is near to him. Let the Lord be praised.

Psalm 148

All Creation Exhorted to Praise the LORD

1481 Hallelujah! Praise God from heaven, praise him from the mountaintops; 2 Praise him, all you his angels, praise him, all you his warriors, 3 Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, you morning stars; 4 Praise him, high heaven, praise him, heavenly rain clouds; 5 Praise, oh let them praise the name of God - he spoke the word, and there they were! 6 He set them in place from all time to eternity; He gave his orders, and that's it!

7 Praise God from earth, you sea dragons, you fathomless ocean deeps; 8 Fire and hail, snow and ice, hurricanes obeying his orders; 9 Mountains and all hills, apple orchards and cedar forests; 10 Wild beasts and herds of cattle, snakes, and birds in flight; 11 Earth's kings and all races, leaders and important people, 12 Robust men and women in their prime, and yes, graybeards and little children. 13 Let them praise the name of God - it's the only Name worth praising. His radiance exceeds anything in earth and sky; 14 he's built a monument - his very own people! Praise from all who love God! Israel's children, intimate friends of God. Hallelujah!
