1 Hallelujah! Praise the LORD from the heavens; praise Him in the highest places.

Praise ye the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens! Praise him in the heights!

2 Praise Him, all His angels; praise Him, all His heavenly hosts.

Praise him, all ye his angels! Praise him, all ye his hosts!

3 Praise Him, O sun and moon; praise Him, all you shining stars.

Praise ye him, sun and moon! Praise him, all ye stars of light!

4 Praise Him, O highest heavens, and you waters above the skies.

Praise him, ye heavens of heavens! Ye waters, that are above the heavens!

5 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for He gave the command and they were created.

Let them praise the name of the LORD; For he commanded, and they were created.

6 He established them forever and ever; He issued a decree that will never pass away.

He hath also established them for ever; He hath given them a law, and they transgress it not.

7 Praise the LORD from the earth, all great sea creatures and ocean depths,

Praise the LORD from the earth, Ye sea-monsters, and all deeps!

8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, powerful wind fulfilling His word,

Fire and hail, snow and vapor; Thou tempest, that fulfillest his word!

9 mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,

Ye mountains, and all hills! Fruit-trees, and all cedars!

10 wild animals and all cattle, crawling creatures and flying birds,

Ye wild beasts, and all cattle! Ye creeping things, and winged birds!

11 kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all rulers of the earth,

Ye kings, and all peoples, Princes, and all judges of the earth!

12 young men and maidens, old and young together.

Young men and maidens, Old men and children!

13 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for His name alone is exalted; His splendor is above the earth and the heavens.

Let them praise the name of the LORD! For his name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and the 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!

He exalteth the horn of his people, The glory of all his godly ones, Of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise ye the LORD!
