Psalms 148

1Alleluia. Praise ye our Lord from the heavens: praise ye him in the high places.

2Praise ye him all his Angels: praise ye him all his hosts:

3Praise ye him sun and moon: praise him all ye stars, and light.

4Praise him ye heavens of heavens: and the waters that are above the heavens,

5let them praise the name of our Lord. Because he said, and they were made: he commanded, and they were created.

6He established them for ever, and for ever and ever: he put a precept, and it shall not pass.

7Praise our Lord from the earth: ye dragons, and all depths.

8Fire, hail, snow, ice, spirit of storms: which do his word:

9Mountains, and all little hills: trees that bear fruit, and all cedars.

10Beasts, and all cattle: serpents, and feathered fowls:

11Kings of the earth, & all peoples: Princes, and all judges of the earth.

12Young men and virgins: old with young let them praise the name of our Lord:

13because the name of him alone is exalted.

14The confession of him above heaven and earth: and he hath exalted the horn of his people. An hymn to all his saints: to the children of Israel a people approaching unto him. Alleluia.
