Psalms 148:1

Praise the Lord (praise Yah – Hebr. hallelu yah)!
[The psalm begins and ends with the exhortation to praise the Lord, see verse 14. The Hebrew phrase hallelu-jah is often transliterated directly and has become a well-known expression in all languages for the exhortation to praise God's name. The verb hallelu means to praise. The word Jah is the first part of God's personal name Yahweh, which means the eternal one.]
[After the opening call to praise the Lord, Hebr. hallelu-jah, there follow seven imperatives of the Hebrew verb hallelu. It is a call to everything in heaven to praise and worship God. The heavens here contrast with the earth in verse 7, which is also called upon to praise God. Verses 2-4 mention seven actors who are all to praise God in heaven. The number seven represents perfection, so together with the seven verbs that call for praising God, it also numerologically indicates a perfect praise in heaven.]
Praise the Lord (Yahweh) from the heavens, praise him in the heights [above the earth].
