The Whole Creation Invoked to Praise Jehovah


[1]	PRAISE 1 ye Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens: Praise him in the heights.
[2]	Praise ye him, all his angels: Praise ye him, all his host.
[3]	Praise ye him, sun and moon: Praise him, all ye stars of light.
[4]	Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, And ye waters that are above the heavens.
[5]	Let them praise the name of Jehovah; For he commanded, and they were created.
[6]	He hath also established them for ever and ever: He hath made a decree which 2 shall not pass away.
[7]	Praise Jehovah from the earth, Ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;
[8]	Fire and hail, snow and vapor; Stormy wind, fulfilling his word;
[9]	Mountains and all hills; Fruitful trees and all cedars;
[10]	Beasts and all cattle; Creeping things and flying birds;
[11]	Kings of the earth and all peoples; Princes and all judges of the earth;
[12]	Both young men and virgins; Old men and children:
[13]	Let them praise the name of Jehovah; For his name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
[14]	And he hath lifted up the 3 horn of his people, The praise of all his saints; Even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise 4 ye Jehovah.
