Psalms

Psalm 148:7–13

⁷Praise the LORD from the earth,

all great sea creatures and ocean depths,

⁸lightning and hail, snow and clouds,

powerful wind fulfilling His word,

⁹mountains and all hills,

fruit trees and all cedars,

¹⁰wild animals and all cattle,

crawling creatures and flying birds,

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.
