Psalm 148 "The LORD of heav’n confess, on high his glory raise." Sing Psalms. Tune: St John

PSALM 148 6 6 6 6 8 8

1 O praise, O praise the LORD!
Praise him from heavens’ height!
2 All angels, give him praise;
Praise him, you hosts of light.
3 Praise him, sun, moon and stars on high,
4 You highest heavens and cloudy sky.

5 O let them praise his name,
The name of God the LORD,
For he created them
By his almighty word.
6 He set their place eternally;
For ever fixed is his decree.

7 The LORD praise from the earth,
You creatures of the deep,
8 Fire, hail, snow, clouds and winds,
Which his commandments keep.
9 You hills and trees, beasts wild and tame,
10 Small creatures, birds, exalt his name.

11 All nations and earth’s kings,
Princes and all who reign;
12 Young men and maidens too,
Both children and old men:
13 The LORD’s great name by them be praised;
His name alone on high is raised.

His glory shines abroad
Above the earth and heaven;
14 And he to his own folk
A mighty king has given.
Let Israèl give praise to God;
They are his people. Praise the LORD!
