Psalms 148
1 Hallelujah! Praise God from heaven, praise him from the mountaintops;
2 Praise him, all you his angels, praise him, all you his warriors,
3 Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, you morning stars;
4 Praise him, high heaven, praise him, heavenly rain clouds;
5 Praise, oh let them praise the name of God - he spoke the word, and there they were!
6 He set them in place from all time to eternity; He gave his orders, and that's it!
7 Praise God from earth, you sea dragons, you fathomless ocean deeps;
8 Fire and hail, snow and ice, hurricanes obeying his orders;
9 Mountains and all hills, apple orchards and cedar forests;
10 Wild beasts and herds of cattle, snakes, and birds in flight;
11 Earth's kings and all races, leaders and important people,
12 Robust men and women in their prime, and yes, graybeards and little children.
13 Let them praise the name of God - it's the only Name worth praising. His radiance exceeds anything in earth and sky;
14 he's built a monument - his very own people! Praise from all who love God! Israel's children, intimate friends of God. Hallelujah!
