1Praise Yahweh.
Praise Yahweh, you in the heavens;
praise him, you in the heights.

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

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

4Praise him, highest heaven
and you waters that are above the sky.

5Let them praise the name of Yahweh,
for he gave the command, and they were created.

6He has also established them forever and ever;
he issued a decree that will never change.

7Praise him from the earth,
you sea monsters and all ocean depths,

8fire and hail, snow and clouds,
stormy wind fulfilling his word.

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

10animals wild and tame,
creatures that crawl and birds.

11Praise Yahweh, kings of the earth and all nations,
princes and all who govern on the earth,

12both young men and young women,
elderly and children.

13Let them all praise the name of Yahweh,
for his name alone is exalted
and his glory extends over the earth and the heavens.

14He has lifted up the horn of his people
for praise from all his faithful ones,
the Israelites, the people near to him.
Praise Yahweh.
