Psalm 148

Creation’s Praise of the LORD

1   Hallelujah!

Praise the LORD from the heavens;

praise him in the heights. h

2   Praise him, all his angels;

praise him, all his heavenly armies. i

3   Praise him, sun and moon;

praise him, all you shining stars. j

4   Praise him, highest heavens,

and you waters above the heavens. k

5   Let them praise the name of the LORD,

for he commanded, and they were created. l

6   He set them in position forever and ever;

he gave an order that will never pass away. m

7   Praise the LORD from the earth,

all sea monsters and ocean depths, n

8   lightning F and hail, snow and cloud,

stormy wind that executes his command, o

9   mountains and all hills,

fruit trees and all cedars, p

10   wild animals and all cattle,

creatures that crawl and flying birds, q

11   kings of the earth and all peoples,

princes and all judges of the earth, r

12   young men as well as young women,

old and young together. s

13   Let them praise the name of the LORD,

for his name alone is exalted.

His majesty covers heaven and earth. t

14   He has raised up a horn for his people,

resulting in praise to all his faithful ones,

to the Israelites, the people close to him. u

Hallelujah!
