Psalm 148
Brenton Septuagint Translation
Chapter overview
Psalm 148 calls every height and depth into one chorus: heavenly lights, weather, landscapes, animals, rulers, elders, and children. Created diversity shares a single purpose of praise and renewed communal dignity.

1Alleluia, a Psalm of Aggæus and Zacharias. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the highest.
2Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
3Praise him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars and light.
4Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and the water that is above the heavens.
5Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he spoke, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.
6He has established them for ever, even for ever and ever: he has made an ordinance, and it shall not pass away.
7Praise the Lord from the earth, ye serpents, and all deeps.
8Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy wind; the things that perform his word.
9Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
10wild beasts, and all cattle; reptiles, and winged birds:
11kings of the earth, and all peoples; princes, and all judges of the earth:
12young men and virgins, old men with youths:
13let them praise the name of the Lord: for his name only is exalted; his praise is above the earth and heaven,
14and he shall exalt the horn of his people, there is a hymn for all his saints, even of the children of Israel, a people who draw near to him.
