1 Hallelujah! Praise the LORD from the heavens; praise Him in the highest places.
Praise YAH! Praise YHWH from the heavens, Praise Him in high places.
2 Praise Him, all His angels; praise Him, all His heavenly hosts.
Praise Him, all His messengers, Praise Him, all His hosts.
3 Praise Him, O sun and moon; praise Him, all you shining stars.
Praise Him, sun and moon, Praise Him, all stars of light.
4 Praise Him, O highest heavens, and you waters above the skies.
Praise Him, heavens of heavens, And you waters that are above the heavens.
5 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for He gave the command and they were created.
They praise the Name of YHWH, For He commanded, and they were created.
6 He established them forever and ever; He issued a decree that will never pass away.
And He establishes them forever and for all time, He gave a statute, and they do not pass over.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, all great sea creatures and ocean depths,
Praise YHWH from the earth, Dragons and all deeps,
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, powerful wind fulfilling His word,
Fire and hail, snow and vapor, Whirlwind doing His word;
9 mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
The mountains and all heights, Fruit tree, and all cedars,
10 wild animals and all cattle, crawling creatures and flying birds,
The wild beast, and all livestock, Creeping thing, and winged bird,
11 kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all rulers of the earth,
Kings of earth, and all peoples, Chiefs, and all judges of earth,
12 young men and maidens, old and young together.
Young men, and also maidens, Aged men, with youths,
13 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for His name alone is exalted; His splendor is above the earth and the heavens.
They praise the Name of YHWH, For His Name alone has been set on high, His splendor [is] above earth and heavens.
14 He has raised up a horn for His people, the praise of all His saints, of Israel, a people near to Him. Hallelujah!
And He exalts the horn of His people, The praise of all His saints, Of the sons of Israel, A people near Him. Praise YAH!
