1PRAISE THE Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise Him in the heights!
2Praise Him, all His angels, praise Him, all His hosts!
3Praise Him, sun and moon, praise Him, all you stars of light!
4Praise Him, you highest heavens and you waters above the heavens!
5Let them praise the name of the Lord, for He commanded and they were created.
6He also established them forever and ever; He made a decree which shall not pass away [He fixed their bounds which cannot be passed over].
7Praise the Lord from the earth, you sea monsters and all deeps!
8You lightning, hail, fog, and frost, you stormy wind fulfilling His orders!
9Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars!
10Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and flying birds!
11Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all rulers and judges of the earth!
12Both young men and maidens, old men and children!
13Let them praise and exalt the name of the Lord, for His name alone is exalted and supreme! His glory and majesty are above earth and heaven!
14He has lifted up a horn for His people [giving them power, prosperity, dignity, and preeminence], a song of praise for all His godly ones, for the people of Israel, who are near to Him. Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!) [Ps. 75:10; Eph. 2:17.]
