[1] Praise the Eternal! All you in the heavens, praise the Eternal; praise Him from the highest places! [2] All you, His messengers and His armies in heaven: praise Him! [3] Sun, moon, and all you brilliant stars above: praise Him! [4] Highest heavens and all you waters above the heavens: praise Him! [5] Let all things join together in a concert of praise to the name of the Eternal, for He gave the command and they were created. [6] He put them in their places to stay forever- He declared it so, and it is final. [7] Everything on earth, join in and praise the Eternal; sea monsters and creatures of the deep, [8] Lightning and hail, snow and foggy mists, violent winds all respond to His command. [9] Mountains and hills, fruit trees and cedar forests, [10] All you animals both wild and tame, reptiles and birds who take flight: praise the Lord. [11] All kings and all nations, princes and all judges of the earth, [12] All people, young men and women, old men and children alike, praise the Lord. [13] Let them all praise the name of the Eternal! For His name stands alone above all others. His glory shines greater than anything above or below. [14] He has made His people strong; He is the praise of all who are godly, the praise of the children of Israel, those whom He holds close. Praise the Eternal!
