  1  Praise God. From heavens praise the Lord,
        in heights praise to him be.
  2  All ye his angels, praise ye him;
        his hosts all, praise him ye.
  3  O praise ye him, both sun and moon,
        praise him, all stars of light.
  4  Ye heav'ns of heav'ns him praise, and floods
        above the heavens' height.

  5  Let all the creatures praise the name
        of our almighty Lord:
     For he commanded, and they were
        created by his word.
  6  He also, for all times to come,
        hath them established sure;
     He hath appointed them a law,
        which ever shall endure.

  7  Praise ye JEHOVAH from the earth,
        dragons, and ev'ry deep:
  8  Fire, hail, snow, vapor, stormy wind,
        his word that fully keep.
  9  All hills and mountains, fruitful trees,
        and all ye cedars high:
 10  Beasts, and all cattle, creeping things,
        and all ye birds that fly.

 11  Kings of the earth, all nätions,
        princes, earth's judges all:
 12  Both young men, yea, and maidens too,
        old men, and children small.
 13  Let them God's name praise; for his name
        alone is excellent:
     His glory reacheth far above
        the earth and firmament.

 14  His 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.
