¹Halleluyah !

Praise Adonai from the heavens!

Praise him in the heights!

²Praise him, all his angels!

Praise him, all his armies!

³Praise him, sun and moon!

Praise him, all shining stars!

⁴Praise him, highest heaven,

and waters above the heavens!

⁵Let them praise the name of Adonai ;

for he commanded, and they were created.

⁶He established them forever and ever;

he has given a law to which they must conform.

⁷Praise Adonai from the earth,

sea monsters and watery depths,

⁸fire and hail, snow and mist,

storm-winds that obey his word,

⁹mountains and every hill,

fruit trees and all cedars,

¹⁰wild animals and all livestock,

creeping reptiles, flying birds,

¹¹kings of the earth and all peoples,

princes and all rulers on earth,

¹²young men and women alike,

old men and children.

¹³Let them praise the name of Adonai ,

for his name alone is exalted;

his glory is above both earth and heaven.

¹⁴He has increased the power of his people,

granted praise to all his faithful,

to the descendants of Isra’el,

a people close to him.

Halleluyah !
