Psalms of David - Modern Translation - Psalm 148

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 at His command they were created,

And He established them forever and ever,
setting 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,

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,
rulers and all people of the world,

Young men and women,
the old with the young together,

Let them praise the name of the Lord,
for His name alone is lifted high;
His splendor is above the earth and the heavens.

He has raised up strength for His people,
the praise of all His faithful ones,
the people close to His heart.

Praise the Lord!
