Psalm 148 : Your Name be praised, O Lord

tune: Moscow

Sung: Your Name be praised, O Lord,
mighty creating God.
Your Name be praised
by ev’rything above,
by ev’rything below.
Your Name be praised, O Lord,
Your Name be praised.

Praise the Lord from the heavens.
Praise him from the heights.
Praise the Lord, sun and moon.
Praise him, shining stars.

Praise the Lord, all you -- his angels.
Praise him all you -- his host.
Praise the Lord, you highest heaven.
Praise him, you waters above the heavens.

Lord, by your command alone
they were created.
Let them praise your Name, O Lord.

Lord, you established them
from all time to eternity.
Let them praise your Name, O Lord.

Lord, your decree, fixing their bounds,
shall not pass away.

Sung: Your Name be praised, ....

Praise the Lord from the earth.
Praise him, you sea-monsters and ocean depths.
Praise the Lord, all mountains and hills.
Praise him, fruit trees and cedars.

Praise the Lord, fire and hail, snow and smoke.
Praise him, stormy winds, executing his commands.
Praise the Lord, all wild animals and cattle.
Praise him, creeping creatures and winging birds.

Lord, your Name is exalted
high above all others.
Let them praise your Name, O Lord.

Lord, your majesty and splendor
is above earth and heaven.

Sung: Your Name be praised, ....

Praise the Lord, all rulers of the earth and all peoples.
Praise him, all leaders of the world and all commoners.
Praise the Lord, men and women alike.
Praise him, old and young together.

Lord, you are close to those
you have chosen.
Let them praise your Name, O Lord.

Lord, you strengthen all your faithful people.
Let them praise your Name, O Lord.

Lord, you crown with praise
all your loyal servants.

Sung: Your Name be praised, O Lord,
mighty creating God.
Your Name be praised
by ev’rything above,
by ev’rything below.
Your Name be praised, O Lord,
Your Name be praised.
