[1] Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens! Praise him from the skies! [2] Praise him, all his angels! Praise him, all the armies of heaven! [3] Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you twinkling stars! [4] Praise him, skies above! Praise him, vapors high above the clouds! [5] Let every created thing give praise to the LORD, for he issued his command, and they came into being. [6] He set them in place forever and ever. His decree will never be revoked. [7] Praise the LORD from the earth, you creatures of the ocean depths, [8] fire and hail, snow and clouds, wind and weather that obey him, [9] mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars, [10] wild animals and all livestock, small scurrying animals and birds, [11] kings of the earth and all people, rulers and judges of the earth, [12] young men and young women, old men and children. [13] Let them all praise the name of the LORD. For his name is very great; his glory towers over the earth and heaven! [14] He has made his people strong, honoring his faithful ones- the people of Israel who are close to him. Praise the LORD!
