Let Creation Praise the LORD

1Praise you the LORD. Praise you 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 heavens of heavens, and you waters that be above the heavens.

5Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.

6He has also established them forever and ever: he has made a decree which shall not pass.

7Praise the LORD from the earth, you sea creatures, and all deeps:

8Fire, and hail; snow, and vapors; stormy wind fulfilling his word:

9Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:

10Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:

11Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:

12Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:

13Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.

14He also exalts the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise you the LORD.
