Hallelu-Yah!

Praise Yahweh from the heavens; * praise him from the heights.

    Praise him, all his angels; * praise him, all his soldiers!

        Praise him, sun and moon; * praise him, all morning stars!

            Praise him, high heavens, * you waters above the heavens!

        Let them praise the name of Yahweh; * alone he commanded and they were created.

    He stationed them from of old forever; * he gave a decree which shall never pass away.

Praise Yahweh from the underworld, * you sea monsters and all you depths!

    Lightning and hail, snow and smoke, * storm wind carrying out his command,

        mountains and all hills, * fruit trees and all cedars,

           wild animals and all cattle, * reptiles and birds with wings,

        kings of earth and all peoples, * princes and all tribes of earth,

    finest youth and young ladies, * old men and children alike:

let them praise the name of Yahweh, * for his name alone is exalted.

           Though his splendor is above earth and heaven, * he raised the horn of his people.

           Praise be from all his worshipers, * from the children of Israel, * the people close to him.

Hallelu-Yah!
