• 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 stars and light.
  • 4. Praise him, heavens of heavens, and waters that are above the heavens.
  • 5. Let them praise the name of the LORD; for he spoke and they were made, he commanded and they were created.
  • 6. He has also established them for ever and ever; he has made a decree which shall not pass.
  • 7. ¶ Praise the LORD from the earth, you great serpents and all deeps;
  • 8. Fire and hail, snow and ice, stormy wind fulfilling his word,
  • 9. Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars,
  • 10. Wild 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 boys and maidens, old men and young men, let them praise the name of the LORD;
  • 13. For his name alone is excellent; his glory is on earth and in heaven.
  • 14. He also exalts the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise the LORD.
