Psalm 148

 The Whole Creation Invoked to Praise the Lord.

 

Praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord from the heavens;

Praise Him in the heights!

2 

Praise Him, all His angels;

Praise Him, all His heavenly armies!

3 

Praise Him, sun and moon;

Praise Him, all stars of light!

4 

Praise Him, highest heavens,

And the waters that are above the heavens!

5 

They are to praise the name of the Lord,

For He commanded and they were created.

6 

He has also established them forever and ever;

He has made a decree, and it will not pass away.

7 

Praise the Lord from the earth,

Sea monsters, and all the ocean depths;

8 

Fire and hail, snow and clouds;

Stormy wind, fulfilling His word;

9 

Mountains and all hills;

Fruit trees and all cedars;

10 

Animals and all cattle;

Crawling things and winged fowl;

11 

Kings of the earth and all peoples;

Rulers and all judges of the earth;

12 

Both young men and virgins;

Old men and children.

13 

They are to praise the name of the Lord,

For His name alone is exalted;

His majesty is above earth and heaven.

14 

And He has lifted up a horn for His people,

Praise for all His godly ones,

For the sons of Israel, a people near to Him.

Praise the Lord! Psalm 148 NASB
