1 H allelujah! Praise Jehovah from the heavens; praise him in the heights.

2 P raise ye him, all his angels; praise ye him, all his hosts.

3 P raise him, sun and moon; praise him, all ye stars of light.

4 P raise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.

5 L et them praise the name of Jehovah, for he it is that commanded, and they were created:

6 A nd he established them for ever and ever; he made a statute which shall not pass.

7 P raise Jehovah from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;

8 F ire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind fulfilling his word;

9 M ountains and all hills, fruit-trees and all cedars;

10 B easts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;

11 K ings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth;

12 B oth young men and maidens, old men with youths,—

13 L et them praise the name of Jehovah: for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above the earth and the heavens.

14 A nd he hath lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Hallelujah!
