Psalm 148
Literal Standard Version
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.

1Praise YAH! Praise YHWH from the heavens, || Praise Him in high places.
2Praise Him, all His messengers, || Praise Him, all His hosts.
3Praise Him, sun and moon, || Praise Him, all stars of light.
4Praise Him, heavens of heavens, || And you waters that are above the heavens.
5They praise the Name of YHWH, || For He commanded, and they were created.
6And He establishes them forever and for all time, || He gave a statute, and they do not pass over.
7Praise YHWH from the earth, || Dragons and all deeps,
8Fire and hail, snow and vapor, || Whirlwind doing His word;
9The mountains and all heights, || Fruit tree, and all cedars,
10The wild beast, and all livestock, || 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 YHWH, || For His Name alone has been set on high, || His splendor [is] above earth and heavens.
14And He exalts the horn of His people, || The praise of all His saints, || Of the sons of Israel, || A people near Him. Praise YAH!
