Psalms 148 YLT
Summary: A cosmic hymn of praise organized as an expanding roll call of all creation, beginning with the heavens — sun, moon, stars, and "waters that be above the heavens" (v. 3-4) — then descending to earth: sea monsters and all deeps, fire, hail, snow, stormy wind, mountains, trees, and every kind of beast, cattle, creeping thing, and flying fowl. It broadens finally to humanity itself — kings, princes, judges, young men and maidens, old men and children — all summoned to "praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven" (v. 13). It closes noting God has "exalted the horn of his people," a praise due to "all his saints" (v. 14).
1Praise ye Jah! Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens, Praise ye Him in high places.
2Praise ye Him, all His messengers, Praise ye Him, all His hosts.
3Praise ye Him, sun and moon, Praise ye Him, all stars of light.
4Praise ye Him, heavens of heavens, And ye waters that are above the heavens.
5They do praise the name of Jehovah, For He commanded, and they were created.
6And He establisheth them for ever to the age, A statute He gave, and they pass not over.
7Praise ye Jehovah from the earth, Dragons and all deeps,
8Fire and hail, snow and vapour, Whirlwind doing His word;
9The mountains and all heights, Fruit tree, and all cedars,
10The wild beast, and all cattle, Creeping thing, and winged bird,
11Kings of earth, and all peoples, Chiefs, and all judges of earth,
12Young men, and also maidens, Aged men, with youths,
13They praise the name of Jehovah, For His name alone hath been set on high, His honour is above earth and heavens.
14And He exalteth the horn of His people, The praise of all His saints, Of the sons of Israel, a people near Him. Praise ye Jah!
