[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 army!
[3] Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
[4] Praise him, you heavens of heavens, you waters that are above the heavens.
[5] Let them praise the LORD’s name, for he commanded, and they were created.
[6] He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.
[7] Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths;
[8] lightning and hail, snow and clouds; stormy wind, fulfilling his word;
[9] mountains and all hills; fruit trees and all cedars;
[10] wild animals and all livestock; small creatures and flying birds;
[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 LORD’s name, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
[14] He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his holy ones, even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise the LORD!
