Psalm 148

King James Version

1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights. 

2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts. 

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

4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. 

5 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created. 

6 He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass. 

7 Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps: 

8 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word: 

9 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars: 

10 Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl: 

11 Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth: 

12 Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children: 

13 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven. 

14 He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD.
