Praise him, all his angels. Praise him, all his army.

3 Praise ye him, O sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars and light.

Praise him, sun and moon. Praise him, all you shining stars.

4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens: and let all the waters that are above the heavens

Praise him, you heavens of heavens, You waters that are above the heavens.

5 Praise the name of the Lord. For he spoke, and they were made: he commanded, and they were created.

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

6 He hath established them for ever, and for ages of ages: he hath made a decree, and it shall not pass away.

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, ye dragons, and all ye deeps:

Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths.

8 Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy winds which fulfill his word:

Lightning and hail, snow and clouds; stormy wind, fulfilling his word;

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

mountains and all hills; fruit trees and all cedars;

10 Beasts and all cattle: serpents and feathered fowls:

wild animals and all livestock; small creatures and flying birds;

11 Kings of the earth and all people: princes and all judges of the earth:

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

12 Young men and maidens: let the old with the younger, praise the name of the Lord:

both young men and maidens; old men and children:

13 For his name alone is exalted.

let them praise the name of the LORD, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.

14 The praise of him is above heaven and earth: and he hath exalted the horn of his people. A hymn to all his saints: to the children of Israel, a people approaching to him. Alleluia.

He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his faithful ones; even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise the LORD.
