1890 Darby's Translation of the Holy Scriptures (DBY)

Psalms 148

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

 148:1 ¶ Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah from the heavens; praise him in the heights.

 148:2 Praise ye him, all his angels; praise ye him, all his hosts.

 148:3 Praise 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 it is that commanded, and they were created:

 148:6 And he established them for ever and ever; he made [for them] a statute which shall not pass.

 148:7 Praise Jehovah from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;

 148:8 Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind fulfilling his word;

 148:9 Mountains and all hills, fruit-trees and all cedars;

 148:10 Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;

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

 148:12 Both young men and maidens, old men with youths,—

 148:13 Let them praise the name of Jehovah: for his name alone is exalted; his majesty 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. Hallelujah!
