Praise to the Lord from Creation
1Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord from the heavens;
Praise Him in the heights!
2Praise Him, all His angels;
Praise Him, all His hosts!
3Praise Him, sun and moon;
Praise Him, all you stars of light!
4Praise Him, ⚓you heavens of heavens,
And ⚓you waters above the heavens!
5Let them praise the name of the Lord,
For ⚓He commanded and they were created.
6⚓He also established them forever and ever;
He made a decree which shall not pass away.
7Praise the Lord from the earth,
⚓You great sea creatures and all the depths;
8Fire and hail, snow and clouds;
Stormy wind, fulfilling His word;
9⚓Mountains and all hills;
Fruitful trees and all cedars;
10Beasts and all cattle;
Creeping things and flying fowl;
11Kings of the earth and all peoples;
Princes and all judges of the earth;
12Both young men and maidens;
Old men and children.
13Let them praise the name of the Lord,
For His ⚓name alone is exalted;
His glory is above the earth and heaven.
14And He ⚓has exalted the horn of His people,
The praise of ⚓all His saints—
Of the children of Israel,
⚓A people near to Him.
Praise the Lord!
