Psalms 148

1 The psalmist exhorteth the celestial, 7 the terrestrial, 1 and the rational creatures to praise God.

 148:1 ¶ Praise ye Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens: Praise him in the heights.

 148:2 Praise ye him, all his angels: Praise ye him, all his host.

 148:3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: Praise him, all ye stars of light.

 148:4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, And ye waters that are above the heavens.

 148:5 Let them praise the name of Jehovah; For he commanded, and they were created.

 148:6 He hath also established them for ever and ever: He hath made a decree which shall not pass away.

 148:7 Praise Jehovah from the earth, Ye sea-monsters, and all deeps.

 148:8 Fire and hail, snow and vapor; Stormy wind, fulfilling his word;

 148:9 Mountains and all hills; Fruitful trees and all cedars;

 148:10 Beasts and all cattle; Creeping things and flying birds;

 148:11 Kings of the earth and all peoples; Princes and all judges of the earth;

 148:12 Both young men and virgins; Old men and children:

 148:13 Let them praise the name of Jehovah; For his name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and the heavens.

 148:14 And he hath lifted up the horn of his people, The praise of all his saints; Even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye Jehovah.
