Praise the Lord From the Heavens! 1Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise ye him in the high places. 2Praise ye him , all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts. 3Praise ye him, O sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars and light. 4Praise him, ye heavens of heavens: and let all the waters that are above the heavens 5praise the name of the Lord. For he spoke, and they were made: he commanded, and they were created. 6He hath established them for ever, and for ages of ages: he hath made a decree, and it shall not pass away. 7Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all ye deeps: 8Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy winds which fulfil his word: 9Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars: 10Beasts and all cattle: serpents and feathered fowls: 11Kings of the earth and all people: princes and all judges of the earth: 12Young men and maidens: let the old with the younger, praise the name of the Lord: 13for his name alone is exalted. 14The praise of him is above heaven and earth: and he hath exalted the horn of his people. A hymn to all his saints: to the children of Israel, a people approaching to him. Alleluia. |
