Psalm 148
Psalm 148
Biblical Period
1Hallelujah.
Praise the Lord from the heavens;
praise Him on high.
2Praise Him, all His angels,
praise Him, all His hosts.
3Praise Him, sun and moon,
praise Him, all bright stars.
4Praise Him, highest heavens,
and you waters that are above the heavens.
5Let them praise the name of the Lord,
for it was He who commanded that they be
created.
6He made them endure forever,
establishing an order that shall never change.
7Praise the Lord, O you who are on earth,
all sea monsters and ocean depths,
8fire and hail, snow and smoke,
storm wind that executes His command,
9all mountains and hills,
all fruit trees and cedars,
10all wild and tamed beasts,
creeping things and winged birds,
11all kings and peoples of the earth,
all princes of the earth and its judges,
12youths and maidens alike,
old and young together.
13Let them praise the name of the Lord,
for His name, His alone, is sublime;
His splendor covers heaven and earth.
14He has exalted the horn of His people
for the glory of all His faithful ones,
Israel, the people close to Him.
Hallelujah.
