Psalm 148 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

The Whole Creation Invoked to Praise the Lord.

148 ^[a]Praise ^[b]the Lord!
Praise the Lord ^(A)from the heavens;
Praise Him ^(B)in the heights!
²Praise Him, ^(C)all His angels;
Praise Him, ^(D)all His heavenly armies!
³Praise Him, sun and moon;
Praise Him, all stars of light!
⁴Praise Him, ^[c]^(E)highest heavens,
And the ^(F)waters that are above the heavens!
⁵They are to praise the name of the Lord,
For ^(G)He commanded and they were created.
⁶He has also ^(H)established them forever and ever;
He has made a ^(I)decree, and it will not pass away.

⁷Praise the Lord from the earth,
^(J)Sea monsters, and all the ocean ^(K)depths;
⁸^(L)Fire and hail, ^(M)snow and ^(N)clouds;
^(O)Stormy wind, ^(P)fulfilling His word;
⁹^(Q)Mountains and all hills;
Fruit ^(R)trees and all cedars;
¹⁰^(S)Animals and all cattle;
^(T)Crawling things and winged fowl;
¹¹^(U)Kings of the earth and all peoples;
Rulers and all judges of the earth;
¹²Both young men and virgins;
Old men and children.

¹³They are to praise the name of the Lord,
For His ^(V)name alone is exalted;
His ^(W)majesty is above earth and heaven.
¹⁴And He has ^(X)lifted up a horn for His people,
^(Y)Praise for all His godly ones,
For the sons of Israel, a people ^(Z)near to Him.
^[d]Praise ^[e]the Lord!
