(KJV) Psalm 1481

<< Psalm 147 Psalm 149 >>

Praise the LORD from the Heavens[ Psalms 33:1–22 ]

[1] Praise ye the Lord2. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the heights. [2] Praise ye him, all his angels3: praise ye him, all his hosts4. [3] Praise ye him, sun5 and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light. [4] Praise him, ye heavens6 of heavens, and ye waters7 that [be] above the heavens. [5] Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he8 commanded, and they were created. [6] He hath also9 stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass. [7] Praise the Lord from the earth10, ye dragons11, and all deeps: [8] Fire12, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy13 wind fulfilling his word: [9] Mountains14, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars: [10] Beasts15, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl16: [11] Kings17 of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth: [12] Both young men18, and maidens; old men, and children: [13] Let them praise the name of the Lord: for his name19 alone is excellent20; his glory21 [is] above the earth and heaven. [14] He also exalteth22 the horn of his people, the praise23 of all his saints; [even] of the children of Israel, a people24 near unto him. Praise ye the Lord.
