Psalm 148:1-14
148 Praise Jah!*
Praise Jehovah from the heavens;+Praise him in the heights.
2 Praise him, all his angels.+
Praise him, all his army.+
3 Praise him, sun and moon.
Praise him, all shining stars.+
4 Praise him, O highest heavens*And waters above the heavens.
5 Let them praise the name of Jehovah,For he commanded, and they were created.+
6 He keeps them established forever and ever;+He has issued a decree that will not pass away.+
7 Praise Jehovah from the earth,You great sea creatures and all deep waters,
8 You lightning and hail, snow and thick clouds,You storm wind, carrying out his word,+
9 You mountains and all you hills,+You fruit trees and all you cedars,+
10 You wild animals+ and all you domestic animals,You creeping things and winged birds,
11 You kings of the earth and all you nations,You princes and all you judges of the earth,+
12 You young men and young women,*Old men and young together.*
13 Let them praise the name of Jehovah,For his name alone is unreachably high.+
His majesty is above earth and heaven.+
14 He will exalt the strength* of his people,For the praise of all his loyal ones,Of the sons of Israel, the people close to him.
Praise Jah!*
