Psalm 151 148 - Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

PSALM 148 Second Version

¹ The Lord of heav'n confess, On high his glory raise

² Him let all angels bless, Him all his armies praise

³ Him glorify Sun, moon, and stars;

⁴ Ye higher spheres, And cloudy sky.

⁵ From God your beings are, Him therefore famous make; You all created were, When he the word but spake.

⁶ And from that place, Where fix'd you be By his decree, You cannot pass.

⁷ Praise God from earth below, Ye dragons, and ye deeps:

⁸ Fire, hail, clouds, wind, and snow. Whom in command he keeps.

⁹ Praise ye his name, Hills great and small, Trees low and tall;

¹⁰ Beasts wild and tame; All things that creep or fly.

¹¹ Ye kings, ye vulgar throng, All princes mean or high;

¹² Both men and virgins young, Ev'n young and old,

¹³ Exalt his name; For much his fame Should be extoll'd. O let God's name be prais'd Above both earth and sky;

¹⁴ For he his saints hath rais'd, And set their horn on high; Ev'n those that be Of Isr'el's race, Near to his grace. The Lord praise ye.
