PSALM 148 (NIV)
- Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise him in the heights above.
- Praise him, all his angels, praise him, all his heavenly hosts.
- Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, all you shining stars.
- Praise him, you highest heavens and you waters above the skies.
- Let them praise the name of the Lord, for he commanded and they were created.
- He set them in place for ever and ever; he gave a decree that will never pass away.
- Praise the Lord from the earth, you great sea creatures and all ocean depths,
- lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy winds that do his bidding,
- you mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
- wild animals and all cattle, small creatures and flying birds,
- kings of the earth and all nations, you princes and all rulers on earth,
- young men and maidens, old men and children.
- Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted; his splendor is above the earth and the heavens.
- He has raised up for his people a horn, the praise of all his saints, of Israel, the people close to his heart. Praise the Lord.
