1 Praise Yah!
Praise
Yahweh from the heavens!
Praise him in the heights!
2 Praise
him, all
his angels!
Praise
him, all his army!
3 Praise
him, sun and moon!
Praise
him, all you shining stars!
4 Praise
him, you
heavens of heavens,
You
waters that
are above the heavens.
5 Let them praise
Yahweh’s name,
For
he commanded,
and they were created.
6 He has also
established them forever and ever.
He
has made a decree which will not pass away.
7 Praise Yahweh from the earth,
you
great sea creatures, and all depths;
8 lightning and hail,
snow and clouds;
stormy
wind, fulfilling
his word;
9 mountains and all hills;
fruit
trees and all cedars;
10 wild animals and all livestock;
small
creatures and flying birds;
11 kings
of the earth
and all peoples;
princes
and all judges of the earth;
12 both
young men and maidens;
old
men and children:
13 let
them praise Yahweh’s name,
for
his name alone is exalted.
His
glory is above the earth and the heavens.
