Psalms

Psalm 148:11–14

¹¹kings of the earth and all peoples,

princes and all rulers of the earth,

¹²young men and maidens,

old and young together.

¹³Let them praise the name of the LORD,

for His name alone is exalted;

His splendor is above the earth and the heavens.

¹⁴He has raised up a horn for His people,

the praise of all His saints,

of Israel, a people near to Him.

Hallelujah!
