Praise him, ye heavens of heavens,
and ye waters that be above the heavens.
Let them praise the name of the LORD:
for he commanded, and they were created.

Praise ye him, all his angels:
praise ye him, all his hosts.
Praise ye him, sun and moon:
praise him, all ye stars of light.

Praise ye the LORD.
Praise ye the LORD from the heavens:
praise him in the heights.

He sheweth his word unto Jacob,
his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
He hath not dealt so with any nation:
and as for his judgments, they have not known them.
Praise ye the LORD.

He casteth forth his ice like morsels:
who can stand before his cold?
He sendeth out his word, and melteth them:
he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.

He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth:
his word runneth very swiftly.
He giveth snow like wool:
he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.

For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates;
he hath blessed thy children within thee.
He maketh peace in thy borders,
and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.

The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him,
in those that hope in his mercy.
Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem;
praise thy God, O Zion.

He giveth to the beast his food,
and to the young ravens which cry.
He delighteth not in the strength of the horse:
he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.

Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving;
sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
Who covereth the heaven with clouds,
who prepareth rain for the earth,
who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.
