1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the heights.
2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his host.
3 Praise ye him, sun and moon; praise him, all ye stars of light.
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.
5 Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he commanded, and they were created.
6 He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass away.
7 Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:
8 Fire and hail, snow and vapour; 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 hath lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the Lord.
