1Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens; praise Him in the celestial heights.
2Praise Him, all His angels; praise Him, all His hosts.
3Praise Him, sun and moon; praise Him, all the shining stars.
4Praise Him, heaven of heavens, and the waters that are above the heavens.
5Let them praise the Name of the Lord, for He commanded and they were created.
6He has established them forever, for all time; He issued a decree, and it shall not be transgressed.
7Praise the Lord from the earth, sea-monsters and all [that dwell in] the depths;
8fire and hail, snow and vapor, stormy wind carrying out His command;
9the mountains and all hills, fruit-bearing trees and all cedars;
10the beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;
11kings of the earth and all nations, rulers and all judges of the land;
12young men as well as maidens, elders with young lads.
13Let them praise the Name of the Lord, for His Name is sublime, to Himself; its radiance [alone] is upon earth and heaven.
14He shall raise the glory of His people, [increase] the praise of all His pious ones, the Children of Israel, the people close to Him. Praise the Lord!
