Psalms 148:5-14

5 Let all of them praise the name of the Lord, because he gave a command and they were created.
6 He set them in place for ever and ever. He gave them laws they will always have to obey.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures and all of the deepest parts of the ocean.
8 Praise him, lightning and hail, snow and clouds. Praise him, you stormy winds that obey him.
9 Praise him, all you mountains and hills. Praise him, all you fruit trees and cedar trees.
10 Praise him, all you wild animals and cattle. Praise him, you small creatures and flying birds.
11 Praise him, you kings of the earth and all nations. Praise him, all you princes and rulers on earth.
12 Praise him, young men and young women. Praise him, old people and children.
13 Let them praise the name of the Lord. His name alone is honored. His glory is higher than the earth and the heavens.
14 He has given his people a strong king. All of his faithful people praise him for that gift. All of the people of Israel are close to his heart. Praise the Lord.
