1 Hallelujah! Praise God from heaven, praise him from the mountaintops;
1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights.
2 Praise him, all you his angels, praise him, all you his warriors,
2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
3 Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, you morning stars;
3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.
4 Praise him, high heaven, praise him, heavenly rain clouds;
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.
5 Praise, oh let them praise the name of God - he spoke the word, and there they were!
5 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.
6 He set them in place from all time to eternity; He gave his orders, and that's it!
6 He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.
7 Praise God from earth, you sea dragons, you fathomless ocean deeps;
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:
8 Fire and hail, snow and ice, hurricanes obeying his orders;
8 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word:
9 Mountains and all hills, apple orchards and cedar forests;
9 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
10 Wild beasts and herds of cattle, snakes, and birds in flight;
10 Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:
11 Earth's kings and all races, leaders and important people,
11 Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:
12 Robust men and women in their prime, and yes, graybeards and little children.
12 Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:
13 Let them praise the name of God - it's the only Name worth praising. His radiance exceeds anything in earth and sky;
13 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.
14 he's built a monument - his very own people! Praise from all who love God! Israel's children, intimate friends of God. Hallelujah!
14 He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD.
