Psalm 148
Hebrew
הַלְלוּיָהּ.
הַלְלוּ אֶת־יְהֹוָה מִן הַשָּׁמַיִם, הַלְלוּהוּ בַּמְּרוֹמִים.
הַלְלוּהוּ כָל־מַלְאָכָיו, הַלְלוּהוּ כָּל־צְבָאָיו.
הַלְלוּהוּ שֶׁמֶשׁ וְיָרֵחַ, הַלְלוּהוּ כָּל־כּוֹכְבֵי אוֹר,
הַלְלוּהוּ שְׁמֵי הַשָּׁמָיִם, וְהַמַּיִם אֲשֶׁר מֵעַל הַשָּׁמָיִם.
יְהַלְלוּ אֶת־שֵׁם־יְהֹוָה, כִּי הוּא צִוָּה וְנִבְרָאוּ,
וַיַּעֲמִידֵם לָעַד לְעוֹלָם, חָק־נָתַן וְלֹא יַעֲבוֹר.
הַלְלוּ אֶת־יְהֹוָה מִן הָאָרֶץ, תַּנִּינִים וְכָל־תְּהֹמוֹת.
אֵשׁ וּבָרָד שֶׁלֶג וְקִיטוֹר, רוּחַ סְעָרָה עֹשָׂה דְבָרוֹ.
הֶהָרִים וְכָל־גְּבָעוֹת, עֵץ פְּרִי וְכָל־אֲרָזִים.
הַחַיָּה וְכָל־בְּהֵמָה, רֶמֶשׂ וְצִפּוֹר כָּנָף.
מַלְכֵי אֶרֶץ וְכָל־לְאֻמִּים, שָׂרִים וְכָל־שֹׁפְטֵי אָרֶץ.
בַּחוּרִים וְגַם בְּתוּלוֹת, זְקֵנִים עִם נְעָרִים.
יְהַלְלוּ אֶת־שֵׁם־יְהֹוָה, כִּי נִשְׂגָּב שְׁמוֹ לְבַדּוֹ,
הוֹדוֹ עַל אֶרֶץ וְשָׁמָיִם.
וַיָּרֶם קֶרֶן לְעַמּוֹ תְּהִלָּה לְכָל־חֲסִידָיו,
לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל עַם קְרֹבוֹ, הַלְלוּיָהּ.

English
HALLELUYAH! Praise God. From the heavens, render praise to Adonai; on high, render praise: all angels, render praise to God, all heaven’s hosts, render praise to God, sun and moon, render praise to God, shining stars render praise to God, highest heavens and waters above, render praise to God; may all praise the name Adonai. For God commanded they come into being, set them in their stations forever, and fixed the bounds they never cross. On earth, render praise to Adonai: sea monsters and the ocean’s deep, lightning and hail, snow and sandstorms, raging winds that obey God’s command, hills and lofty mountains, fruit trees and evergreens, beasts and cattle of every kind, creeping things and birds of wing, rulers of the world and their nations, mighty princes and those who judge in the land, boys and girls, innocent and adolescent, elders and youths, lift up praise to the name Adonai, for God’s name alone is to be exalted, whose splendor stretches over heaven and earth. May God lift the horn of our people in praise of the faithful, Israel’s children, beloved of the Divine. Praise God, halleluyah!
