The Whole Creation Invoked to Praise the L{ORD}.

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!
