The Whole Creation Invoked to Praise the Lord

1 Give praise to the Lord. Let the Lord be praised from the heavens: give him praise in the skies. 2 Give praise to him, all you his angels: give praise to him, all his armies. 3 Give praise to him, you sun and moon: give praise to him, all you stars of light. 4 Give praise to him, you highest heavens, and you waters which are over the heavens. 5 Let them give praise to the name of the Lord: for he gave the order, and they were made. 6 He has put them in their places for ever; he has given them their limits which may not be broken. 7 Give praise to the Lord from the earth, you great sea-beasts, and deep places: 8 Fire and rain of ice, snow and mists; storm-wind, doing his word: 9 Mountains and all hills; fruit-trees and all trees of the mountains: 10 Beasts and all cattle; insects and winged birds: 11 Kings of the earth, and all peoples; rulers and all judges of the earth: 12 Young men and virgins; old men and children: 13 Let them give glory to the name of the Lord: for his name only is to be praised: his kingdom is over the earth and the heaven. 14 He has put on high the horn of his people, for the praise of all his saints; even the children of Israel, a people which is near to him.

CREATION'S PRAISE OF THE LORD

Hallelujah! Praise the LORD from the heavens; praise Him in the heights.

Praise Him, all His angels; praise Him, all

His heavenly armies.

Praise Him, sun and moon;

praise Him, all

you shining stars.

Praise Him,

highest heavens,

and you waters above

the heavens.

Let them praise the name

of the LORD,

for He commanded,

and they were created.

He set them in position

forever and ever;

He gave an order

that will never pass away.

Praise the LORD

from the earth,

all sea monsters

and ocean depths,

lightning and hail,

snow and cloud,

stormy wind that executes His command,

mountains and all hills,

fruit trees and all cedars,

wild animals and all cattle,

creatures that crawl

and flying birds,

kings of the earth

and all peoples,

princes and all judges

of the earth,

young men as well as

young women,

old and young together.

Let them praise the name

of the LORD,

for His name alone is exalted.

His majesty covers

heaven and earth.

He has raised up a horn

for His people,

resulting in praise to all

His faithful ones,

to the Israelites, the people close to Him.

Hallelujah!
