Psalms 148
Intro: All creation exhorted to praise God.
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 forever 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 vapor; 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.
