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

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

Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.

5 Let them praise the LORD’s name, 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.

He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.

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

Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:

8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind, fulfilling his word,

Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word:

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

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

10 wild animals and all livestock, small creatures and flying birds,

Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:

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

Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:

12 both young men and maidens, old men and children.

Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:

13 Let them praise the LORD’s name, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.

Let them praise the name of the Lord: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.

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

He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the Lord.
