Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens; Praise Him in the heights!
2
Praise Him, all His angels; Praise Him, all His hosts!
3
Praise Him, sun and moon; Praise Him, all you stars of light!
4
Praise Him, you heavens of heavens, And you waters above the heavens!
5
Let them praise the name of the Lord, For He commanded and they were created.
6
He also established them forever and ever; He made a decree which shall not pass away.
7
Praise the Lord from the earth, You great sea creatures and all the depths;
8
Fire and hail, snow and clouds; 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 peoples; 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 exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven.
14
And He has exalted the horn of His people, The praise of all His saints-- Of the children of Israel, A people near to Him. Praise the Lord!
