Psalm 148

¹Praise ye the Lord. 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 be above the heavens.
⁵Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he commanded, and they were created.
⁶He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.
⁷Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:
⁸Fire, and hail; snow, and vapours; stormy wind fulfilling his word:
⁹Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
¹⁰Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:
¹¹Kings of the earth, and all people; 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 excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.
¹⁴He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the Lord.

Psalm 150

¹Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
²Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.
³Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.
⁴Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
⁵Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
⁶Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.

13Surely vain are all men by nature, who are ignorant of God, and could not out of the good things that are seen know him that is: neither by considering the works did they acknowledge the workmaster;
²But deemed either fire, or wind, or the swift air, or the circle of the stars, or the violent water, or the lights of heaven, to be the gods which govern the world.
³With whose beauty if they being delighted took them to be gods; let them know how much better the Lord of them is: for the first author of beauty hath created them.
⁴But if they were astonished at their power and virtue, let them understand by them, how much mightier he is that made them.
⁵For by the greatness and beauty of the creatures proportionably the maker of them is seen.
⁶But yet for this they are the less to be blamed: for they peradventure err, seeking God, and desirous to find him.
⁷For being conversant in his works they search him diligently, and believe their sight: because the things are beautiful that are seen.
⁸Howbeit neither are they to be pardoned.
⁹For if they were able to know so much, that they could aim at the world; how did they not sooner find out the Lord thereof?

⁷And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
⁸I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
⁹Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
¹⁰Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
¹¹Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
¹²Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
¹³He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
