{148:1} Praise the LORD!
Praise the LORD from the heavens!
Praise him in the heights!

You waters that are above the heavens.
{148:5} Let them praise the name of the LORD,
For he commanded, and they were created.

He has made a decree which will not pass away.
{148:7} Praise the LORD from the earth,
you great sea creatures, and all depths!
{148:8} Lightning and hail, snow and clouds;
stormy wind, fulfilling his word;
{148:9} mountains and all hills;
fruit trees and all cedars;
{148:10} wild animals and all livestock;
small creatures and flying birds;
{148:11} kings of the earth and all peoples;
princes and all judges of the earth;
{148:12} both young men and maidens;
old men and children:
{148:13} let them praise the name of the LORD,
for his name alone is exalted.
His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
{148:14} He has lifted up the horn of his people,
the praise of all his holy ones;
even of the children of Israel, a people near to him.
Praise the LORD!

Let them sing for joy on their beds.
{149:6} May the high praises of God be in their mouths,
and a two-edged sword in their hand;

and punishments on the peoples;
{149:8} To bind their kings with chains,
and their nobles with fetters of iron;
{149:9} to execute on them the written judgment.
All his holy ones have this honor.
Praise the LORD!
