1 Hallelujah. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the heights.
Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh from the heavens! Praise him in the heights!
2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
Praise him, all his angels! Praise him, all his army!
3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.
Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.
Praise him, you heavens of heavens, you waters that are above the heavens.
5 Let them praise the name of the Lord; for he commanded and they were created.
Let them praise Yahweh’s name, for he commanded, and they were created.
6 And he established them for ever and to eternity: he gave a decree which none shall transgress.
He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.
7 Praise the Lord from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;
Praise Yahweh from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths,
8 Fire, and hail, snow, and vapor; thou storm-wind that fulfillest his word;
lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind, fulfilling his word,
9 Ye mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars;
mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
10 Ye beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and winged birds;
wild animals and all livestock, small creatures and flying birds,
11 Ye kings of the earth, and all nations; ye princes, and all judges of the earth;
kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth,
12 Young men and also virgins; old men, together with boys: —
both young men and maidens, old men and children.
13 Let them praise the name of the Lord; for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above earth and heaven.
Let them praise Yahweh’s name, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
14 He also exalteth the horn of his people, a praise unto all his pious servants, [even] unto the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Hallelujah.
He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise Yah!
