Psalm 148-150

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁷ Praise the Lord from the earth,
^(J)Sea monsters and all ^(K)deeps;
^8 (L)Fire and hail, ^(M)snow and ^(N)clouds;
^(O)Stormy wind, ^(P)fulfilling His word;
^9 (Q)Mountains and all hills;
Fruit ^(R)trees and all cedars;
^10 (S)Beasts and all cattle;
^(T)Creeping things and winged fowl;
^11 (U)Kings of the earth and all peoples;
Princes and all judges of the earth;
¹² Both young men and virgins;
Old men and children.

¹³ Let them praise the name of the Lord,
For His ^(V)name alone is exalted;
His ^(W)glory is above earth and heaven.
¹⁴ And He has ^(X)lifted up a horn for His people,
^(Y)Praise for all His godly ones;
Even for the sons of Israel, a people ^(Z)near to Him.
^[d]Praise ^[e]the Lord!

⁵ Let the ^(AI)godly ones exult in glory;
Let them ^(AJ)sing for joy on their beds.
⁶ Let the ^(AK)high praises of God be in their ^[h]mouth,
And a ^(AL)two-edged ^(AM)sword in their hand,
⁷ To ^(AN)execute vengeance on the nations
And punishment on the peoples,
⁸ To bind their kings ^(AO)with chains
And their ^(AP)nobles with fetters of iron,
⁹ To ^(AQ)execute on them the judgment written;
This is an ^(AR)honor for all His godly ones.
^[i]Praise ^[j]the Lord!

³ Praise Him with ^(AW)trumpet sound;
Praise Him with ^(AX)harp and lyre.
⁴ Praise Him with ^(AY)timbrel and dancing;
Praise Him with ^(AZ)stringed instruments and ^(BA)pipe.
⁵ Praise Him with loud ^(BB)cymbals;
Praise Him with resounding cymbals.
⁶ Let ^(BC)everything that has breath praise ^[n]the Lord.
^[o]Praise ^[p]the Lord!
