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 hosts. 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.
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 people; 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 excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven. 14 He also exalteth 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.
