[¶0] Hallelujah

[¶1] 1 Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens; Praise him in the heights.

[¶2] 2 Praise him, all ye his angels! Praise him, all ye his armies!

[¶3] 3 Praise him, ye Sun and Moon! Praise him, all ye shining stars!

[¶4] 4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens! And ye waters above the heavens!

[¶5] 5 Let them praise the name of Jehovah; For he commanded and they were created:

[¶6] 6 And he established them for ever: For ever he hath set for them a decree, and it shall not pass beyond.

[¶7] 7 Praise Jehovah, ye creatures from the earth! Dragons, and all deeps!

[¶8] 8 Fire and hail, snow and ice! Wind of storm, executing his word!

[¶9] 9 Mountains, and all hills! The tree bearing fruit, and all cedars!

[¶10] 10 Wild beasts, and all cattle! Reptile, and winged birds!

[¶11] 11 Kings of the earth, and all peoples! Princes, and all judges of the earth!

[¶12] 12 Young men, and also maidens! Old men with children!

[¶13] 13 Let them praise the name of Jehovah; For high is his name alone; His praise is above the earth and heavens.

[¶14] 14 And he hath exalted the horn of his people: Praise is to all his merciful ones, To the children of Israel, A people which is near to him. Hallelujah.
