1 | Give praise to the Lord. Let the Lord be praised from the heavens: give him praise in the skies. |
2 | Give praise to him, all you his angels: give praise to him, all his armies. |
3 | Give praise to him, you sun and moon: give praise to him, all you stars of light. |
4 | Give praise to him, you highest heavens, and you waters which are over the heavens. |
5 | Let them give praise to the name of the Lord: for he gave the order, and they were made. |
6 | He has put them in their places for ever; he has given them their limits which may not be broken. |
7 | Give praise to the Lord from the earth, you great sea-beasts, and deep places: |
8 | Fire and rain of ice, snow and mists; storm-wind, doing his word: |
9 | Mountains and all hills; fruit-trees and all trees of the mountains: |
10 | Beasts and all cattle; insects and winged birds: |
11 | Kings of the earth, and all peoples; rulers and all judges of the earth: |
12 | Young men and virgins; old men and children: |
13 | Let them give glory to the name of the Lord: for his name only is to be praised: his kingdom is over the earth and the heaven. |
14 | He has put on high the horn of his people, for the praise of all his saints; even the children of Israel, a people which is near to him. Let the Lord be praised. |
Psalms 148
