Psalm 14824
148:1 Praise the LORD!
Praise the LORD from the sky!
Praise him in the heavens!
148:2 Praise him, all his angels!1
Praise him, all his heavenly assembly!2
148:3 Praise him, O sun and moon!
Praise him, all you shiny stars!3
148:4 Praise him, O highest heaven,
and you waters above the sky!4
148:5 Let them praise the name of the LORD,
for he gave the command and they came into existence.
148:6 He established them so they would endure,5
he issued a decree that will not be revoked.6
148:7 Praise the LORD from the earth,
you sea creatures and all you ocean depths,
148:8 O fire and hail, snow and clouds,7
O stormy wind that carries out his orders,8
148:9 you mountains and all you hills,
you fruit trees and all you cedars,
148:10 you animals and all you cattle,
you creeping things and birds,
148:11 you kings of the earth and all you nations,
you princes and all you leaders9
on the earth,
148:12 you young men and young women,
you elderly, along with you children!
148:13 Let them praise the name of the LORD,
for his name alone is exalted,
his majesty extends over the earth and sky.
148:14 He has made his people victorious,10
and given all his loyal followers reason to praise,
the Israelites, the people who are close to him.11
Praise the LORD!
