[1] Hallelujah! Praise the LORD from the heavens. Praise him in the heights above. [2] Praise him, all his angels. Praise him, his entire heavenly army. [3] Praise him, sun and moon. Praise him, all shining stars. [4] Praise him, you highest heaven and the water above the sky. [5] Let them praise the name of the LORD because they were created by his command. [6] He set them in their places forever and ever. He made it a law that no one can break. [7] Praise the LORD from the earth. Praise him, large sea creatures and all the ocean depths, [8] lightning and hail, snow and fog, strong winds that obey his commands, [9] mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedar trees, [10] wild animals and all domestic animals, crawling animals and birds, [11] kings of the earth and all its people, officials and all judges on the earth, [12] young men and women, old and young together. [13] Let them praise the name of the LORD because his name is high above all others. His glory is above heaven and earth. [14] He has given his people a strong leader, someone praiseworthy for his faithful ones, for the people of Israel, the people who are close to him. Hallelujah!
