2Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his hosts.

3Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all stars and light.

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

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

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

7Praise the LORD from the earth, you great serpents and all deeps;

8Fire and hail, snow and ice, stormy wind fulfilling his word,

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

10Wild beasts and all cattle, creeping things and flying fowl,

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

12Both boys and maidens, old men and young men, let them praise the name of the LORD;

13For his name alone is excellent; his glory is on earth and in heaven.

14He also exalts 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.
