The Whole Creation Invoked to Praise the LORD.

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 hosts!
3 Praise Him, sun and moon;  Praise Him, all stars of light!
4 Praise Him, highest heavens,  And the waters that are 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 will not pass away.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth,  Sea monsters and all deeps;
8 Fire and hail, snow and clouds;  Stormy wind, fulfilling His word;
9 Mountains and all hills;  Fruit trees and all cedars;
10 Beasts and all cattle;  Creeping things and winged fowl;
11 Kings of the earth and all peoples;  Princes and all judges of the earth;
12 Both young men and virgins;  Old men and children.
13 Let them praise the name of the LORD,  For His name alone is exalted;  His glory is above earth and heaven.
14 And He has lifted up a horn for His people,  Praise for all His godly ones;  Even for the sons of Israel, a people near to Him.  Praise the LORD!
