- Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the highest.

Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.

Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all ye stars and light.

Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and the water that is above the heavens.

Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he spoke, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.

He has established them for ever, even for ever and ever: he has made an ordinance, and it shall not pass away.

Praise the Lord from the earth, ye serpents, and all deeps.

Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy wind; the things that perform his word.

Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:

wild beasts, and all cattle; reptiles, and winged birds:

kings of the earth, and all peoples; princes, and all judges of the earth:

young men and virgins, old men with youths:

let them praise the name of the Lord: for his name only is exalted; his praise is above the earth and heaven,

and he shall exalt the horn of his people, [Or, who is the praise of] there is a hymn for all his saints, even of the children of Israel, a people who draw near to him.
