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!
