Psalm 148 - Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

PSALM 148 First Version

¹ Praise God. From heavens praise the Lord, in heights praise to him be.

² All ye his angels, praise ye him; his hosts all, praise him ye.

³ O praise ye him, both sun and moon, praise him, all stars of light.

⁴ Ye heav'ns of heav'ns him praise, and floods above the heavens' height.

⁵ Let all the creatures praise the name of our almighty Lord: For he commanded, and they were created by his word.

⁶ He also, for all times to come, hath them establish'd sure; He hath appointed them a law, which ever shall endure.

⁷ Praise ye JEHOVAH from the earth, dragons, and ev'ry deep:

⁸ Fire, hail, snow, vapour, stormy wind, his word that fully keep.

⁹ All hills and mountains, fruitful trees, and all ye cedars high:

¹⁰ Beasts, and all cattle, creeping things, and all ye birds that fly.

¹¹ Kings of the earth, all nations, princes, earth's judges all:

¹² Both young men, yea, and maidens too, old men, and children small.

¹³ Let them God's name praise; for his name alone is excellent: His glory reacheth far above the earth and firmament.

¹⁴ His people's horn, the praise of all his saints, exalteth he; Ev'n Isr'el's seed, a people near to him. The Lord praise ye.
