Hallelujah.
Praise the LORD from the heavens,
praise Him on the heights.
Praise Him, all His messengers,
praise Him, all His armies.
Praise Him, sun and moon,
praise Him, all you stars of light.
Praise Him, utmost heavens,
and the waters above the heavens.
Let them praise the LORD's name,
for He commanded, and they were created.
And He made them stand forever, for all time.
He set them a border that could not be crossed.
Praise the LORD from the earth,
sea monsters an all you deeps.
Fire and hail, snow and smoke,
stormwind that performs His command,
the mountains and all the hills,
fruit trees and all the cedars,
wild beasts and all the cattle,
crawling things and winged birds,
kings of earth and all the nations,
princes and all leaders of earth,
young men and also maidens,
elders together with lads.
Let them praise the LORD's name,
for His name alone is exalted.
His grandeur is over earth and the heavens.
And may He raise up a horn for His people,
praise of all His faithful,
of the Israelites, the people near Him.
Hallelujah.
Psalm 148
(Translation by Robert Alter)
