Psalms

1Praise the LORD!Praise the LORDfrom the heavens! Praise him in the heights!

2Praise him, all his angels!Praise him, all his army!

3Praise him, sun and moon!Praise him, all you shining stars!

4Praise him, you heavens of heavens,you waters that are above the heavens.

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

6He has also established them forever and ever.He has made a decree which will not pass away.

7Praise the LORD from the earth,you great sea creatures, and all depths,

8lightning and hail, snow and clouds,stormy wind, fulfilling his word,

9mountains and all hills,fruit trees and all cedars,

10wild animals and all livestock,small creatures and flying birds,

11kings of the earth and all peoples,princes and all judges of the earth,

12both young men and maidens,old men and children.

13Let them praise the LORD’s name,for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.

14He 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 the LORD!

1Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise ye him in the high places.

2Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.

3Praise ye him, O sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars and light.

4Praise him, ye heavens of heavens: and let all the waters that are above the heavens

5Praise the name of the Lord. For he spoke, and they were made: he commanded, and they were created.

6He hath established them for ever, and for ages of ages: he hath made a decree, and it shall not pass away.

7Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all ye deeps:

8Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy winds which fulfill his word:

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

10Beasts and all cattle: serpents and feathered fowls:

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

12Young men and maidens: let the old with the younger, praise the name of the Lord:

13For his name alone is exalted.

14The praise of him is above heaven and earth: and he hath exalted the horn of his people. A hymn to all his saints: to the children of Israel, a people approaching to him. Alleluia.
