                Praise the LORD from the heavens,

                    praise Him on the heights.

                ²Praise Him, all His messengers,

                    praise Him, all His armies.

                ³Praise Him, sun and moon,

                    praise Him, all you stars of light.

                ⁴Praise Him, utmost heavens,

                    and the waters above the heavens.

                ⁵Let them praise the LORD’s name,

                    for He commanded, and they were created.

                ⁶And He made them stand forever, for all time.

                    He set them a border that could not be crossed.

                ⁷Praise the LORD from the earth,

                    sea monsters and all you deeps.

                ⁸Fire and hail, snow and smoke,

                    storm wind that performs His command,

                ⁹the mountains and all the hills,

                    fruit trees and all the cedars,

                ¹⁰wild beasts and all the cattle,

                    crawling things and wingèd birds,

                ¹¹kings of earth and all the nations,

                    princes and all leaders of earth,

                ¹²young men and also maidens,

                    elders together with lads.

                ¹³Let them praise the LORD’s name,

                    for His name alone is exalted.

                          His grandeur is over earth and the heavens.

                ¹⁴And may He raise up a horn for His people,

                    praise of all His faithful,

                          of the Israelites, the people near Him.

                              Hallelujah.
