148 Praise Hashem. Praise Hashem from HaShomayim: praise Him in the heights above.

Praise ye Him, all His malachim: praise ye Him, all Tzivos Hashem.

Praise ye Him, shemesh and yarei’ach: praise Him, all ye kokhavim of ohr.

Praise Him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above HaShomayim.

Let them praise the Shem of Hashem: for He commanded, and they were created.

He hath also established them forever and ever: He hath made a Chok (decree) which shall not pass away.

Hallelu Hashem from ha’aretz, ye sea creatures, and all tehomot:

Eish, and barad; snow, and cloud; stormy wind fulfilling His Devar:

Mountains, and all hills; etz pri (fruitful trees), and all cedars:

10 Beasts, and all cattle; remesh (creeping things), and flying fowl:

11 Malchei eretz, and all people; sarim (princes), and all shoftei aretz:

12 Both bochurim, and betulot; zekenim, and ne’arim:

13 Let them praise the Shem of Hashem: for Shmo alone is excellent; His hod is above Eretz and Shomayim.

14 He also exalteth the keren of His people, tehillah (the praise) of all His Chasidim; even of the Bnei Yisroel, an Am (people) close unto Him. Hallelu Hashem.

Psalm 148

Praise the Lord.[a](A)

Praise the Lord from the heavens;(B)
    praise him in the heights above.
Praise him, all his angels;(C)
    praise him, all his heavenly hosts.(D)
Praise him, sun(E) and moon;
    praise him, all you shining stars.
Praise him, you highest heavens(F)
    and you waters above the skies.(G)

Let them praise the name(H) of the Lord,
    for at his command(I) they were created,
and he established them for ever and ever—
    he issued a decree(J) that will never pass away.

Praise the Lord(K) from the earth,
    you great sea creatures(L) and all ocean depths,(M)
lightning and hail,(N) snow and clouds,
    stormy winds that do his bidding,(O)
you mountains and all hills,(P)
    fruit trees and all cedars,
10 wild animals(Q) and all cattle,
    small creatures and flying birds,
11 kings(R) of the earth and all nations,
    you princes and all rulers on earth,
12 young men and women,
    old men and children.

13 Let them praise the name of the Lord,(S)
    for his name alone is exalted;
    his splendor(T) is above the earth and the heavens.(U)
14 And he has raised up for his people a horn,[b](V)
    the praise(W) of all his faithful servants,(X)
    of Israel, the people close to his heart.(Y)

Praise the Lord.
