Psalms 148; Psalms 149; Psalms 150

1 Hallelujah! Praise the LORD from the heavens. Praise him in the heights above.

2 Praise him, all his angels. Praise him, his entire heavenly army.

3 Praise him, sun and moon. Praise him, all shining stars.

4 Praise him, you highest heaven and the water above the sky.

5 Let them praise the name of the LORD because they were created by his command.

6 He set them in their places forever and ever. He made it a law that no one can break.

7 Praise the LORD from the earth. Praise him, large sea creatures and all the ocean depths,

8 lightning and hail, snow and fog, strong winds that obey his commands,

9 mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedar trees,

10 wild animals and all domestic animals, crawling animals and birds,

11 kings of the earth and all its people, officials and all judges on the earth,

12 young men and women, old and young together.

13 Let them praise the name of the LORD because his name is high above all others. His glory is above heaven and earth.

14 He has given his people a strong leader, someone praiseworthy for his faithful ones, for the people of Israel, the people who are close to him. Hallelujah!

1 Hallelujah! Sing a new song to the LORD. Sing his praise in the assembly of godly people.

2 Let Israel find joy in their creator. Let the people of Zion rejoice over their king.

3 Let them praise his name with dancing. Let them make music to him with tambourines and lyres,

4 because the LORD takes pleasure in his people. He crowns those who are oppressed with victory.

5 Let godly people triumph in glory. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

6 Let the high praises of God be in their throats and two-edged swords in their hands

7 to take vengeance on the nations, to punish the people of the world,

8 to put their kings in chains and their leaders in iron shackles,

9 to carry out the judgment that is written against them. This is an honor that belongs to all his godly ones. Hallelujah!

1 Hallelujah! Praise God in his holy place. Praise him in his mighty heavens.

2 Praise him for his mighty acts. Praise him for his immense greatness.

3 Praise him with sounds from horns. Praise him with harps and lyres.

4 Praise him with tambourines and dancing. Praise him with stringed instruments and flutes.

5 Praise him with loud cymbals. Praise him with crashing cymbals.

6 Let everything that breathes praise the LORD! Hallelujah!
