Praise him in the heights.

And ye waters that are above the heavens.
Let them praise the name of Jehovah;
For he commanded, and they were created.
He hath also established them for ever and ever:

Praise Jehovah from the earth,
Ye sea-monsters, and all deeps.
Fire and hail, snow and vapor;
Stormy wind, fulfilling his word;
Mountains and all hills;
Fruitful trees and all cedars;
Beasts and all cattle;
Creeping things and flying birds;
Kings of the earth and all peoples;
Princes and all judges of the earth;
Both young men and virgins;
Old men and children:
Let them praise the name of Jehovah;
For his name alone is exalted;
His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
And he hath lifted up {Or, a horn for his people. A praise for all his saints: Even for &c.}the horn of his people,
The praise of all his saints;
Even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him.
{Hebrew: Hallelujah.}Praise ye Jehovah.
