Psalms 148:14
12 young men and maidens, old and young together.
13 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for His name alone is exalted; His splendor is above the earth and the heavens.
He has raised up a horn for His people, the praise of all His saints, of Israel, a people near to Him. Hallelujah!
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
