Praise the Lord from the heavens,
Praise him on the heights.
Praise him, all his angels,
Praise him, all his host!
Praise him,
sun and moon,
Praise him, all
stars of light!
Praise him,
heavens of heavens,
And
waters above the heavens!
Let them
praise the name of the Lord,
For at his
command they were made;
He fixed them forever and ever,
Set a
bound they must not pass.
Praise the Lord from the earth,
Sea-monsters and all deeps!
Fire, hail, snow, and vapor,
Storm wind, fulfilling his word!
Mountains and all hills,
Fruit-trees and all cedars!
Wild
beasts and all cattle,
Creeping things and winged birds!
Kings of earth and all peoples,
All
rulers and judges of earth,
Young
men and
maidens too,
Old men and
children together!
Let them praise the name of the Lord,
For his name alone is exalted.
Over
heaven and earth is his majesty,
He has
strengthened the might of his people;
He is
praised by all who are faithful,
By the Israelites, who are
near him.
Praise God in his
holy place,
Praise him for his mighty firmament,
Praise him for his
deeds of power,
Praise him for his infinite greatness.
Praise him with the blast of the horn,
Praise him with lyre and harp,
Praise him with timbrel and dance,
Praise him with strings and pipe,
Praise him with clanging cymbals,
Praise him with clashing cymbals.
Let all that breathes praise the Lord!
