¹Praise God. From heavens praise the Lord,

in heights praise to him be.

²All ye his angels, praise ye him;

his hosts all, praise him ye.

³O praise ye him, both sun and moon,

praise him, all stars of light.

⁴Ye heav’ns of heav’ns him praise, and floods

above the heavens’ height.

⁵Let all the creatures praise the name

of our almighty Lord:

For he commanded, and they were

created by his word.

⁶He also, for all times to come,

hath them establish’d sure;

He hath appointed them a law,

which ever shall endure.

⁷Praise ye Jehovah from the earth,

dragons, and ev’ry deep:

⁸Fire, hail, snow, vapour, stormy wind,

his word that fully keep.

⁹All hills and mountains, fruitful trees,

and all ye cedars high:

¹⁰Beasts, and all cattle, creeping things,

and all ye birds that fly.

¹¹Kings of the earth, all nations,

princes, earth’s judges all:

¹²Both young men, yea, and maidens too,

old men, and children small.

¹³Let them God’s name praise; for his name

alone is excellent:

His glory reacheth far above

the earth and firmament.

¹⁴His 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.
