1 Praise JAH. Praise YHWH from the heavens. Praise him in the heights.
Praise YAH! Praise YHWH from the heavens, Praise Him in high places.
2 Praise him, all his angels. Praise him, all his army.
Praise Him, all His messengers, Praise Him, all His hosts.
3 Praise him, sun and moon. Praise him, all you shining stars.
Praise Him, sun and moon, Praise Him, all stars of light.
4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, You waters that are above the heavens.
Praise Him, heavens of heavens, And you waters that are above the heavens.
5 Let them praise the name of YHWH, For he commanded, and they were created.
They praise the Name of YHWH, 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.
And He establishes them forever and for all time, He gave a statute, and they do not pass over.
7 Praise YHWH from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths.
Praise YHWH from the earth, Dragons and all deeps,
8 Lightning and hail, snow and clouds; stormy 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 livestock; small 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 judges of the earth;
Kings of earth, and all peoples, Chiefs, and all judges of earth,
12 both young men and maidens; old men and children:
Young men, and also maidens, Aged men, with youths,
13 let them praise the name of YHWH, for his name alone is exalted. His glory 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 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 JAH.
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!
