1 Praise you the LORD. Praise you the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights.2 Praise him, all his angels: praise him, all his hosts.3 Praise him, sun and moon: praise him, all you stars of light.4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, and you waters that be above the heavens.5 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.6 He has also established them forever and ever: he has made a decree which shall not pass.7 Praise the LORD from the earth, you sea creatures, and all deeps:8 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapors; 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 exalts the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise you the LORD.
