14 verses · word-for-word from the Hebrew and Greek · free to read

1Praise Jah! Praise Jehovah from the heavens, praise Him in the heights.
2Praise Him, all His angels; praise Him, all His hosts.
3Praise Him, sun and moon; praise Him, all stars of light.
4Praise Him, O heavens of heavens; and O waters that are above the heavens.
5Let them praise the name of Jehovah; for He commanded, and they were created.
6And He made them stand forever and ever; He gave a decree that they not pass away.
7Let the sea-monsters and all deeps praise Jehovah from the earth,
8fire and hail, snow and smoke, stormy wind fulfilling His Word,
9mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars,
10beasts and all livestock, creeping things and birds of the wing,
11kings of the earth and all peoples, rulers and all judges of the earth,
12young men and virgins, too, old men and youths.
13Let them praise the name of Jehovah; for His name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heavens.
14He also lifts up the horn of His people, the praise of all His godly ones, of the sons of Israel, a people near to Him, Praise Jah.
