The 148th Psalm

Read by
Rabbi Meyer of San Francisco
at the Opening of the Exposition



Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens; praise Him in
the Heights.
Praise ye Him, all His Angels; praise ye, all His hosts.
Praise ye Him, sun and moon; praise Him all ye stars of light.
Praise Him, ye heaven of heavens, and ye waters that be above the
heavens.
Let them praise the name of the Lord; for He commanded and they were
created.
He hath also established them for ever and ever; He hath made a decree
which shall not pass.
Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps.
Fire and hail, snow and vapors; stormy wind fulfilling His word;
Mountains and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars;
Beasts and all cattle; creeping things and flying fowl;
Kings of the earth and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth.
Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children.
Let them praise the name of the Lord; for His name alone is excellent;
His glory is above the earth and heaven.
He 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.
