Psalm 148
|
(Alleluia.)
1
Give praise to the Lord in heaven; praise him, all that dwells on high.
2
Praise him, all you angels of his, praise him, all his armies.
3
Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, every star that shines.
4
Praise him, you highest heavens, you waters beyond the heavens.
5
Let all these praise the Lord; it was his command that created them.
6
He has set them there unageing for ever, given them a law which cannot be altered.

7
Give praise to the Lord on earth, monsters of the sea and all its depths;
8
fire and hail, snow and mist, and the storm-wind that executes his decree;
9
all you mountains and hills, all you fruit trees and cedars;
10
all you wild beasts and cattle, creeping things and birds that fly in air;
11
all you kings and peoples of the world, all you that are princes and judges on earth;
12
young men and maids, old men and boys together; let them all give praise to the Lord’s name.
13
His name is exalted as no other,
14
his praise reaches beyond heaven and earth; and now he has given fresh strength to his people. Shall not his faithful servants praise him, the sons of Israel, the people that draw near to him? Alleluia.
