Psalm 148

Creation’s Praise of the Lord

Hallelujah!
Praise the Lord from the heavens;
praise Him in the heights.(A)
Praise Him, all His angels;
praise Him, all His hosts.(B)
Praise Him, sun and moon;
praise Him, all you shining stars.(C)
Praise Him, highest heavens,
and you waters above the heavens.(D)
Let them praise the name of Yahweh,
for He commanded, and they were created.(E)
He set them in position forever and ever;
He gave an order that will never pass away.(F)

Praise the Lord from the earth,
all sea monsters and ocean depths,(G)
lightning[a] and hail, snow and cloud,
powerful wind that executes His command,(H)
mountains and all hills,
fruit trees and all cedars,(I)
10 wild animals and all cattle,
creatures that crawl and flying birds,(J)
11 kings of the earth and all peoples,
princes and all judges of the earth,(K)
12 young men as well as young women,
old and young together.(L)
13 Let them praise the name of Yahweh,
for His name alone is exalted.
His majesty covers heaven and earth.(M)
14 He has raised up a horn for His people,
resulting in praise to all His godly ones,
to the Israelites, the people close to Him.(N)
Hallelujah!
