Psalms 148

1 Alleluia, a Psalm of Haggai and Zechariah. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: Praise him in the highest. 2 Praise ye him, all his angels: Praise ye him, all his hosts. 3 Praise him, sun and moon: Praise him, all ye stars and light. 4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, And the water that is above the heavens. 5 Let them praise the name of the Lord: For he spoke, and they were made; He commanded, and they were created. 6 He has established them forever, even forever and ever: He has made an ordinance, and it shall not pass away. 7 Praise the Lord from the earth, Ye serpents, and all deeps. 8 Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy wind; The things that perform his word. 9 Mountains, and all hills; Fruitful trees, and all cedars: 10 Wild beasts, and all cattle; Reptiles, and winged birds: 11 Kings of the earth, and all peoples; Princes, and all judges of the earth: 12 Young men and virgins, Old men with youths: 13 Let them praise the name of the Lord: For his name only is exalted; His praise is above the earth and heaven, 14 And he shall exalt the horn of his people, There is a hymn for all his saints, Even of the children of Israel, a people who draw near to him.
