Psalms

¹ Hallelujah! ^[a]

Praise the LORD from the heavens;

praise Him in the highest places. ^[b]

² Praise Him, all His angels;

praise Him, all His heavenly hosts.

³ Praise Him, O sun and moon;

praise Him, all you shining stars.

⁴ Praise Him, O highest heavens,

and you waters above the skies.

⁵ Let them praise the name of the LORD,

for He gave the command and they were created.

⁶ He established them forever and ever;

He issued a decree that will never pass away.

⁷ Praise the LORD from the earth,

all great sea creatures and ocean depths,

⁸ lightning and hail, snow and clouds,

powerful wind fulfilling His word,

⁹ mountains and all hills,

fruit trees and all cedars,

¹⁰ wild animals and all cattle,

crawling creatures and flying birds,

¹¹ kings of the earth and all peoples,

princes and all rulers of the earth,

¹² young men and maidens,

old and young together.

¹³ Let them praise the name of the LORD,

for His name alone is exalted;

His splendor is above the earth and the heavens.

¹⁴ He has raised up a horn for His people,

the praise of all His saints,

of Israel, a people near to Him.

Hallelujah!
