Psalm 148 All creation should praise the Lord

 Psalm 148

All creation should praise the Lord

1 Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord from the heavens; praise him in the heights.

2 Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his hosts.

3 Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all you shining stars.

4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, and you waters that are above the heavens:

5 Praise the name of the Lord, for he commanded, and they were created.

6 He established them forever, and gave them a law that they will not transgress.

7 Praise the Lord from the earth: you sea creatures and all deeps,

8 Fire and hail, snow and vapor, and the stormy wind that executes his word;

9 Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars;

10 Beasts and all livestock, creeping things and flying birds;

11 Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth;

12 Young men and maidens, old men and children,

13 Praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted; his glory is above earth and heaven.

14 He also exalts the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise the Lord.
