Psalm 148
Laudate Dominum
1
Praise the Lord. O praise the Lord of heaven; *
praise him in the heights.
2
Praise him, all you angels of his; *
praise him, all his host.
3
Praise him, sun and moon; *
praise him, all you stars of light.
4
Praise him, all you highest heavens, *
and you waters that are above the heavens.
5
Let them praise the Name of the Lord, *
for he spoke the word, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.
6
He has made them stand fast for ever and ever; *
he has given them a law which shall not be broken.
7
Praise the Lord upon earth, *
you sea monsters and all deeps;
8
Fire and hail, snow and fog, *
wind and storm, fulfilling his word;
9
Mountains and all hills, *
fruitful trees and all cedars;
10
Beasts and all cattle, *
creeping things and birds of the air;
11
Kings of the earth and all peoples, *
princes and all rulers of the world;
12
Young men and maidens, *
old men and children together.
13
Let them praise the Name of the Lord; *
for his Name only is excellent, and his praise above heaven and earth.
14
He shall exalt the horn of his people; all his faithful shall praise him, *
the children of Israel, the people who are near him. Praise the Lord.
