[148:1] Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens; praise him in the heights!
[148:2] Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his hosts!
[148:3] Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, all you shining stars!
[148:4] Praise him, you highest heavens, and you waters above the heavens!
[148:5] Let them praise the name of the Lord! For he commanded and they were created.
[148:6] And he established them forever and ever; he gave a decree, and it shall not pass away.
[148:7] Praise the Lord from the earth, you great sea creatures and all deeps,
[148:8] fire and hail, snow and mist, stormy wind fulfilling his word!
[148:9] Mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars!
[148:10] Beasts and all livestock, creeping things and flying birds!
[148:11] Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all rulers of the earth!
[148:12] Young men and maidens together, old men and children!
[148:13] Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above earth and heaven.
[148:14] He has raised up a horn for his people, praise for all his saints, for the people of Israel who are near to him. Praise the Lord!
