Salmos 148

Praise to the Lord from Creation

1 Praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord from the heavens;

Praise Him in the heights!

2 Praise Him, all His angels;

Praise Him, all His hosts!

3 Praise Him, sun and moon;

Praise Him, all you stars of light!

4 Praise Him, *Deut. 4:32–34; (Rom. 3:1, 2)you heavens of heavens,

And *Deut. 10:14; 1 Kin. 8:27; (Neh. 9:6)you waters above the heavens!

5 Let them praise the name of the Lord,

For *Gen. 1:7He commanded and they were created.

6 *Gen. 1:1, 6He also established them forever and ever;

He made a decree which shall not pass away.

7 Praise the Lord from the earth,

*Ps. 89:37; (Jer. 31:35, 36; 33:20, 25)You great sea creatures and all the depths;

8 Fire and hail, snow and clouds;

Stormy wind, fulfilling His word;

9 *Is. 43:20Mountains and all hills;

Fruitful trees and all cedars;

10 Beasts and all cattle;

Creeping things and flying 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 *Is. 44:23; 49:13name alone is exalted;

His glory is above the earth and heaven.

14 And He *Ps. 8:1has exalted the horn of His people,

The praise of *1 Sam. 2:1; Ps. 75:10all His saints—

Of the children of Israel,

*Ps. 149:9A people near to Him.

Praise the Lord!
