The World Should Praise the Lord

148 Praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord from the skies.
    Praise him high above the earth.
Praise him, all you angels.
    Praise him, all you armies of heaven.
Praise him, sun and moon.
    Praise him, all you shining stars.
Praise him, highest heavens
    and you waters above the sky.
Let them praise the Lord,
    because they were created by his command.
He put them in place forever and ever;
    he made a law that will never change.

Praise the Lord from the earth,
    you large sea animals and all the oceans,
lightning and hail, snow and mist,
    and stormy winds that obey him,
mountains and all hills,
    fruit trees and all cedars,
10 wild animals and all cattle,
    crawling animals and birds,
11 kings of the earth and all nations,
    princes and all rulers of the earth,
12 young men and women,
    old people and children.

13 Praise the Lord,
    because he alone is great.
    He is more wonderful than heaven and earth.
14 God has given his people a king.
    He should be praised by all who belong to him;
    he should be praised by the Israelites, the people closest to his heart.

Praise the Lord!
