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. Let the Lord be praised.
