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.
