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.
