Psalm 148

¹Praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord from the heavens!
    Praise him from the skies!
²Praise him, all his angels!
    Praise him, all the armies of heaven!
³Praise him, sun and moon!
    Praise him, all you twinkling stars!
⁴Praise him, skies above!
    Praise him, vapors high above the clouds!
⁵Let every created thing give praise to the Lord,
    for he issued his command, and they came into being.
⁶He set them in place forever and ever.
    His decree will never be revoked.

⁷Praise the Lord from the earth,
    you creatures of the ocean depths,
⁸fire and hail, snow and clouds,^[a]
    wind and weather that obey him,
⁹mountains and all hills,
    fruit trees and all cedars,
¹⁰wild animals and all livestock,
    small scurrying animals and birds,
¹¹kings of the earth and all people,
    rulers and judges of the earth,
¹²young men and young women,
    old men and children.

¹³Let them all praise the name of the Lord.
    For his name is very great;
    his glory towers over the earth and heaven!
¹⁴He has made his people strong,
    honoring his faithful ones--
    the people of Israel who are close to him.

Praise the Lord!
