Psalms 148:1-150:6

ACV(i) 1 Praise ye LORD. Praise ye LORD from the heavens. Praise him in the heights. 2 Praise ye him, all his agents. Praise ye him, all his host. 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 LORD. For he commanded, and they were created. 6 He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which shall not pass away. 7 Praise LORD from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps, 8 fire and hail, snow and vapor, stormy wind, fulfilling his word, 9 mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars, 10 beasts and all cattle, creeping things and flying birds, 11 kings of the earth and all peoples, rulers and all judges of the earth, 12 both young men and virgins, old men and sons. 13 Let them praise the name of LORD, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens. 14 And he has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his sanctified, even of the sons of Israel, a people near to him. Praise ye LORD. 149 1 Praise ye LORD. Sing to LORD a new song, and his praise in the assembly of the sanctified. 2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made him. Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King. 3 Let them praise his name in the dance. Let them sing praises to him with timbrel and harp. 4 For LORD takes pleasure in his people. He will beautify the meek with salvation. 5 Let the sanctified exult in glory. Let them sing for joy upon their beds. 6 The high praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand 7 to execute vengeance upon the nations, and punishments upon the peoples, 8 to bind their kings with chains, and their ranking men with fetters of iron, 9 to execute upon them the judgment written. All his sanctified have this honor. Praise ye LORD. 150 1 Praise ye LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary. Praise him in the firmament of his power. 2 Praise him for his mighty acts. Praise him according to his excellent greatness. 3 Praise him with trumpet sound. Praise him with psaltery and harp. 4 Praise him with timbrel and dance. Praise him with stringed instruments and pipe. 5 Praise him with loud cymbals. Praise him with high sounding cymbals. 6 Let everything that has breath praise LORD. Praise ye LORD.
