[1] Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from heaven, you that live in the heights above. [2] Praise him, all his angels, all his heavenly armies. [3] Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, shining stars. [4] Praise him, highest heavens, and the waters above the sky. [5] Let them all praise the name of the LORD! He commanded, and they were created; [6] by his command they were fixed in their places forever, and they cannot disobey. [7] Praise the LORD from the earth, sea monsters and all ocean depths; [8] lightning and hail, snow and clouds, strong winds that obey his command. [9] Praise him, hills and mountains, fruit trees and forests; [10] all animals, tame and wild, reptiles and birds. [11] Praise him, kings and all peoples, princes and all other rulers; [12] young women and young men, old people and children too. [13] Let them all praise the name of the LORD! His name is greater than all others; his glory is above earth and heaven. [14] He made his nation strong, so that all his people praise him- the people of Israel, so dear to him. Praise the LORD!
