1Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens; Praise Him in the heights!

2Praise Him, all His angels; Praise Him, all His hosts!

3Praise Him, sun and moon; Praise Him, all stars of light!

4Praise Him, highest heavens, And the waters that are above the heavens!

5Let them praise the name of the LORD, For He commanded and they were created.

6He has also established them forever and ever; He has made a decree which will not pass away.

7Praise the LORD from the earth, Sea monsters and all deeps;

8Fire and hail, snow and clouds; Stormy wind, fulfilling His word;

9Mountains and all hills; Fruit trees and all cedars;

10Beasts and all cattle; Creeping things and winged fowl;

11Kings of the earth and all peoples; Princes and all judges of the earth;

12Both young men and virgins; Old men and children.

13Let them praise the name of the LORD, For His name alone is exalted; His glory is above earth and heaven.

14And He has lifted up a horn for His people, Praise for all His godly ones; [Even] for the sons of Israel, a people near to Him. Praise the LORD!
