Psalms 148

Let heaven and earth praise him

Hallelujah! Praise the LORD from the heavens; praise Him in the highest places.a ²Praise Him, all His angels; praise Him, all His heavenly hosts. ³Praise Him, O sun and moon; praise Him, all you shining stars.

⁴Praise Him, O highest heavens, and you waters above the skies. ⁵Let them praise the name of the LORD, for He gave the command and they were created.b ⁶He established them forever and ever; He issued a decree that will never pass away.

⁷Praise the LORD from the earth, all great sea creatures and ocean depths, ⁸lightning and hail, snow and clouds, powerful wind fulfilling His word, ⁹mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,c ¹⁰wild animals and all cattle, crawling creatures and flying birds, ¹¹kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all rulers of the earth, ¹²young men and maidens, old and young together.

¹³Let them praise the name of the LORD, for His name alone is exalted; His splendor is above the earth and the heavens. ¹⁴He has raised up a horn for His people, the praise of all His saints, of Israel, a people near to Him. Hallelujah!d
