1The whole Creation invoked to praise Jehovah.
1Praise ye Jehovah.Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens:Praise him in the heights.2Praise ye him, all his angels:Praise ye him, all his host.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 Jehovah;For he commanded, and they were created.6He hath also established them for ever and ever:He hath made a decree 2which shall not pass away.7Praise Jehovah from the earth,Ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;8Fire and hail, snow and vapor;Stormy wind, fulfilling his word;9Mountains and all hills;Fruitful trees and all cedars;10Beasts and all cattle;Creeping things and flying birds;11Kings of the earth and all peoples;Princes and all judges of the earth;12Both young men and virgins;Old men and children:13Let them praise the name of Jehovah;For his name alone is exalted;His glory is above the earth and the heavens.14And he hath lifted up 3the horn of his people,The praise of all his saints;Even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him.4Praise ye Jehovah.
