1Hallelujah. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the heights.

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

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

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

5Let them praise the name of the Lord; for he commanded and they were created.

6And he established them for ever and to eternity: he gave a decree which none shall transgress.

7Praise the Lord from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;

8Fire, and hail, snow, and vapor; thou storm-wind that fulfillest his word;

9Ye mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars;

10Ye beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and winged birds;

11Ye kings of the earth, and all nations; ye princes, and all judges of the earth;

12Young men and also virgins; old men, together with boys:—

13Let them praise the name of the Lord; for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above earth and heaven.

14He 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.
