First version (C.M.) 8,6,8,6 ^1Praise God. From heavens praise the Lord, in heights praise to him be. ^2All ye his angels, praise ye him; his hosts all, praise him ye. ^3O praise ye him, both sun and moon, praise him, all stars of light. ^4Ye heav'ns of heav'ns him praise, and floods above the heavens' height. ^5Let all the creatures praise the name of our almighty Lord: For he commanded, and they were created by his word. ^6He also, for all times to come, hath them establish'd sure; He hath appointed them a law, which ever shall endure. ^7Praise ye Jehovah from the earth, dragons, and ev'ry deep: ^8Fire, hail, snow, vapour, stormy wind, his word that fully keep. ^9All hills and mountains, fruitful trees, and all ye cedars high: ^10Beasts, and all cattle, creeping things, and all ye birds that fly. ^11Kings of the earth, all nations, princes, earth's judges all: ^12Both young men, yea, and maidens too, old men, and children small. ^13Let them God's name praise; for his name alone is excellent: His glory reacheth far above the earth and firmament. ^14His people's horn, the praise of all his saints, exalteth he; Ev'n Isr'el's seed, a people near to him. The Lord praise ye. |
