Psalms 148:1-150:6

Leeser(i) 1 Hallelujah. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the heights. 2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts. 3 Praise ye 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 the Lord; for he commanded and they were created. 6 And he established them for ever and to eternity: he gave a decree which none shall transgress. 7 Praise the Lord from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps; 8 Fire, and hail, snow, and vapor; thou storm-wind that fulfillest his word; 9 Ye mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars; 10 Ye beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and winged birds; 11 Ye kings of the earth, and all nations; ye princes, and all judges of the earth; 12 Young men and also virgins; old men, together with boys:— 13 Let them praise the name of the Lord; for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above earth and heaven. 14 He also exalteth the horn of his people, a praise unto all his pious servants, even unto the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Hallelujah. 149 1 Hallelujah. Sing unto the Lord a new song, his praise in the congregation of the pious. 2 Let Israel rejoice in his Maker: let the children of Zion exult in their King. 3 Let them praise his name in the dance: with the timbrel and harp let them sing praises unto him. 4 For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people; he will adorn the meek with salvation. 5 Let the pious be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their couches. 6 The exalted praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword is in their hand; 7 To execute vengeance on the nations, and chastisements on the people: 8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron: 9 To execute upon them the judgment which is written: this is an honor for all his pious servants. Hallelujah. 150 1 Hallelujah. Praise ye God in his sanctuary: praise him in the expansion of his power. 2 Praise him for his acts of might: praise him according to the abundance of his greatness. 3 Praise him with the blowing of the cornet: praise him with the psaltery and harp. 4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and pipe. 5 Praise him upon the clear-ringing cymbals: praise him upon the high-sounding cymbals. 6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Hallelujah.
