Psalm - Fifth Sunday of Easter
Psalm 148
1 Praise the Lord, praise the Lord from heaven:
O praise him in the heights.
2 Praise him, all his angels:
O praise him, all his host.
3 Praise him, sun and moon:
praise him, all you stars of light.
4 Praise him, you highest heaven:
and you waters that are above the heavens.
5 Let them praise the name of the Lord:
for he commanded and they were made.
6 He established them for ever and ever:
he made an ordinance which shall not pass away.
7 O praise the Lord from the earth:
praise him, you sea-monsters and all deeps;
8 Fire and hail, mist and snow:
and storm-wind fulfilling his command;
9 Mountains and all hills:
fruit trees and all cedars;
10 Beasts of the wild, and all cattle:
creeping things and winged birds;
11 Kings of the earth, and all peoples:
princes, and all rulers of the world;
12 Young men and maidens:
old folk and children together.
13 Let them praise the name of the Lord:
for his name alone is exalted.
14 His glory is above earth and heaven:
and he has lifted high the horn of his people.
15 Therefore he is the praise of all his servants:
of the children of Israel, a people that is near him. Praise the Lord.
