• Praise to the Lord from Creation

  • 1 Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens; Praise Him in the heights!
  • 2 Praise Him, all His angels; Praise Him, all His hosts!
  • 3 Praise Him, sun and moon; Praise Him, all you stars of light!
  • 4 Praise Him, you heavens of heavens, And you waters above the heavens!
  • 5 Let 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.
  • 7 Praise the Lord from the earth, You great sea creatures and all the depths;
  • 8 Fire and hail, snow and clouds; Stormy wind, fulfilling His word;
  • 9 Mountains and all hills; Fruitful trees and all cedars;
  • 10 Beasts and all cattle; Creeping things and flying fowl;
  • 11 Kings of the earth and all peoples; Princes and all judges of the earth;
  • 12 Both young men and maidens; Old men and children.
  • 13 Let them praise the name of the Lord, For His name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven.
  • 14 And 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!
