1 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! |
