1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights.

2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
Give praise to him, all you his angels: give praise to him, all his armies.
3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.
Give praise to him, you sun and moon: give praise to him, all you stars of light.
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that [be] above the heavens.
Give praise to him, you highest heavens, and you waters which are over the heavens.
5 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.
Let them give praise to the name of the Lord: for he gave the order, and they were made.
6 He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.
He has put them in their places for ever; he has given them their limits which may not be broken.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:
Give praise to the Lord from the earth, you great sea-beasts, and deep places:
8 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word:
Fire and rain of ice, snow and mists; storm-wind, doing his word:
9 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
Mountains and all hills; fruit-trees and all trees of the mountains:
10 Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:
Beasts and all cattle; insects and winged birds:
11 Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:
Kings of the earth, and all peoples; rulers and all judges of the earth:
12 Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:
Young men and virgins; old men and children:
13 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory [is] above the earth and heaven.
Let them give glory to the name of the Lord: for his name only is to be praised: his kingdom is over the earth and the heaven.
14 He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; [even] of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD.
He has put on high the horn of his people, for the praise of all his saints; even the children of Israel, a people which is near to him. Let the Lord be praised.
