| Chapter 148 |
1 | Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise ye him in the high places. |
2 | Praise ye him , all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts. |
3 | Praise ye him, O sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars and light. |
4 | Praise him, ye heavens of heavens: and let all the waters that are above the heavens |
5 | praise the name of the Lord. For he spoke, and they were made: he commanded, and they were created. |
6 | He hath established them for ever, and for ages of ages: he hath made a decree, and it shall not pass away. |
7 | Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all ye deeps: |
8 | Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy winds which fulfil his word: |
9 | Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars: |
10 | Beasts and all cattle: serpents and feathered fowls: |
11 | Kings of the earth and all people: princes and all judges of the earth: |
12 | Young men and maidens: let the old with the younger, praise the name of the Lord: |
13 | for his name alone is exalted. |
14 | The praise of him is above heaven and earth: and he hath exalted the horn of his people. A hymn to all his saints: to the children of Israel, a people approaching to him. Alleluia. |
