1 Praise ye Jah, praise Jehovah 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 ye stars of light.
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that [are] above the heavens.
5 Let them praise the name of Jehovah, for he commanded, and they were created;
6 And he established them for ever and ever, he gave a decree which shall not pass.
7 Praise Jehovah from the earth, ye sea-monster and all deeps;
8 Fire and hail, snow and vapor, stormy wind doing his word;
9 Mountains and all hills, fruit-trees and all cedars;
10 Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and birds of wing;
11 Kings of earth and all Gentiles, princes and all judges of earth,
12 Young men and also maidens, old men with youths,
13 Let them praise the name of Jehovah; for exalted [is] his name alone, his honor above earth and heavens.
14 And he lifted up a horn for his people, praise for all his saints, even for Israel’s sons, a people near to him. Praise ye Jah.
Notes on Psalm 148
“Praise ye Jah.” Here praise is called for from the heaven, and every one and thing connected, the praise of Jehovah’s name; so from the earth and all below, rising up to the kings and all peoples, of every age, sex, and degree, to praise His name set in His people, His holy or godly ones, beyond question Israel’s sons. The church reigns with Him Who reigns over all the rest, the universe.
