Chapter 148

Praise¹⁶ ye the LORD. Praise¹⁶ ye the LORD from the heavens: praise¹⁶ him in the heights.

Praise¹⁶ ye him, all his angels: praise¹⁶ ye him, all his hosts.

Praise¹⁶ ye him, sun and moon: praise¹⁶ him, all ye stars of light.

Praise¹⁶ him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that [be] above the heavens.

Let them praise¹⁷ the name of the LORD: for he commanded,¹⁴ and they were created.⁸

He hath also stablished⁵⁵ them for ever and ever: he hath made¹ a decree which shall not pass.⁴

Praise¹⁶ the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:

Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling⁶ his word:

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

Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:

Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges⁶ of the earth:

Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:

Let them praise¹⁷ the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent;¹² his glory [is] above the earth and heaven.

He also exalteth⁵⁵ the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; [even] of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise¹⁶ ye the LORD.
