148.14
- 7Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving,
- Sing praises upon the harp unto our God;
- 8Who covereth the heaven with clouds,
- Who prepareth rain for the earth,
- Who maketh the mountains to spring with grass.
- 9He giveth to the beast his food,
- And to the young ravens which cry.
- 10He delighteth not in the strength of the horse;
- He taketh no pleasure in the legs of a man.
- 11The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear Him,
- In those that wait for His mercy.
- 12Glorify the Lord, O Jerusalem;
- Praise thy God, O Zion.
- 13For He hath made strong the bars of thy gates;
- He hath blessed thy children within thee.
- 14He maketh thy borders peace;
- He giveth thee in plenty the fat of wheat.
- 15He sendeth out His commandment upon earth;
- His word runneth very swiftly.
- 16He giveth snow like wool;
- He scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes.
- 17He casteth forth His ice like crumbs;
- Who can stand before His cold?
- 18He sendeth forth His word, and melteth them;
- He causeth His wind to blow, and the waters flow.
- 19He declareth His word unto Jacob,
- His statutes and His ordinances unto Israel.
- 20He hath not dealt so with any nation;
- And as for His ordinances, they have not known them.
- Hallelujah.
- 148 Hallelujah.
- Praise ye the Lord from the heavens;
- Praise Him in the heights.
- 2Praise ye Him, all His angels;
- Praise ye Him, all His hosts.
- 3Praise ye Him, sun and moon;
- Praise Him, all ye stars of light.
- 4Praise Him, ye heavens of heavens,
- And ye waters that are above the heavens.
- 5Let them praise the name of the Lord;
- For He commanded, and they were created.
- 6He hath also established them for ever and ever;
- He hath made a decree which shall not be transgressed.
- 7Praise the Lord from the earth,
- Ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;
- 8Fire and hail, snow and vapour,
- Stormy wind, fulfilling His word;
- 9Mountains and all hills,
- Fruitful trees and all cedars;
- 10Beasts and all cattle,
- Creeping things and winged fowl;
- 11Kings of the earth and all peoples,
- Princes and all judges of the earth;
- 12Both young men and maidens,
- Old men and children;
- 13Let them praise the name of the Lord,
- For His name alone is exalted;
- His glory is above the earth and heaven.
- 14And He hath lifted up a horn for His people,
- A praise for all His saints,
- Even for the children of Israel, a people near unto Him.
- Hallelujah.
