Psalms 148:1-150:6

JPS_ASV_Byz(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 He hath also established them for ever and ever; He hath made a decree which shall not be transgressed. 7 Praise the LORD from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps; 8 Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind, fulfilling His word; 9 Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars; 10 Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl; 11 Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth; 12 Both young men and maidens, old men and children; 13 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for His name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven. 14 And He hath lifted up a horn for His people, a praise for all His saints, even for the children of Israel, a people near unto Him. Hallelujah. 149 1 Hallelujah. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and His praise in the assembly of the saints. 2 Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. 3 Let them praise His name in the dance; let them sing praises unto Him with the timbrel and harp. 4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in His people; He adorneth the humble with salvation. 5 Let the saints exult in glory; let them sing for joy upon their beds. 6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand; 7 To execute vengeance upon the nations, and chastisements upon the peoples; 8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; 9 To execute upon them the judgment written; He is the glory of all His saints. Hallelujah. 150 1 Hallelujah. 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 abundant greatness. 3 Praise Him with the blast of the horn; praise Him with the psaltery and harp. 4 Praise Him with the timbrel and dance; praise Him with stringed instruments and the pipe. 5 Praise Him with the loud-sounding cymbals; praise Him with the clanging cymbals. 6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Hallelujah.
