Psalms 148

Which worship songs are based on Psalms 148?

  1. Psalm 148 (Ye Dragons, Sing His Praise) — Brian Sauvé (2023) Psalms 148:1-14

    The entire song closely follows Psalm 148’s progression from the heavenly host and celestial bodies to weather, landscapes, animals, rulers, and people, concluding with God raising a horn for Israel. Its language and structure constitute a sustained metrical paraphrase of the psalm.

  2. Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee (feat. Isaiah Templeton) — Elevation Worship & Isaiah Templeton (2023) Psalms 148:1-5

    The depiction of angels, stars, heaven, earth, and the created order joining in praise closely follows Psalm 148’s creation-wide summons to worship.

  3. Creator — Phil Wickham (2023) Psalms 148:1-13

    The song closely follows Psalm 148’s comprehensive summons for the heavenly bodies, natural forces, landscapes, creatures, and people to praise their Creator.

  4. All Creatures of our God and King — Jess Ray (2024) Psalms 148:1-5

    The hymn closely follows Psalm 148’s summons for the sun, moon, living creatures, and the whole created order to praise the Lord.

  5. Psalm 150 (Praise The Lord) - Live From Belfast — Keith & Kristyn Getty & Matt Boswell & Matt Papa & Sing! (2024) Psalms 148:1-13

    The summons to the heights, depths, stars, seas, creatures, and nations closely follows Psalm 148's comprehensive call for the created order to praise God.

  6. Praise, My Soul, The King Of Heaven — Keith & Kristyn Getty & Sing! (2026) Psalms 148:1-3

    The final stanza echoes Psalm 148's creation-wide summons by calling angels and the celestial lights to join in praise.

Psalms 148 (King James Version)

1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights.

2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.

3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.

4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.

5 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.

6 He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.

7 Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:

8 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapours; stormy wind fulfilling his word:

9 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:

10 Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:

11 Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:

12 Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:

13 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.

14 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.
