  1. Hallelujah. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens; Praise Him in the heights.
  2. Praise ye Him, all His angels; Praise ye Him, all His hosts.
  3. Praise ye Him, sun and moon; Praise Him, all ye stars of light.
  4. Praise Him, ye heavens of heavens, And ye waters that are above the heavens.

  6. He hath also established them for ever and ever; He hath made a decree which shall not be transgressed.
  7. Praise the LORD from the earth, Ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;
  8. Fire and hail, snow and vapour, Stormy wind, fulfilling His word;
  9. Mountains and all hills, Fruitful trees and all cedars;
  10. Beasts and all cattle, Creeping things and winged 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 hath lifted up a horn for His people, A praise for all His saints, Even for the children of Israel, a people near unto Him. Hallelujah.
