– Give praise to him, sun and moon;
give praise to him, all you stars and light!
– Give praise to him, you heavens of heavens, and you water that is above the heavens;
– May they praise the name of the Lord!
For he said the word, and they came to be.
– He commanded, and they were created.
He established them for all eternity and for ever and ever; he fixed their boundaries which cannot be passed.
– Give praise to the Lord from out of the earth,
you monsters, and all you depths.
– Fire and hail, snow and ice,
tempestuous wind, who obey his word;
– You mountains and all you hills,
fruit-bearing trees and all you cedars,
– Savage beasts and all you cattle,
crawling things and all you winged birds,
– Kings of the earth and all you nations,
leaders and all you judges of the earth,
– Young men and maidens, elders and children:
give praise to the name of the Lord
for his name alone is exalted.
– his exaltation is above earth and heaven,
he will raise up a horn for his people.
– A praise for all his saints,
for the people of Israel who are close to him!
