Psalms 148

Psalm 148 ESV

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