Praise the Lord! ye heavens adore Him; 

Praise Him, angels, in the height;

Sun and moon rejoice before Him;

Praise Him, all ye stars of light.

Praise the Lord! for He hath spoken;

Worlds His mighty voice obeyed;

Laws which never shall be broken,

For their guidance hath He made.

Praise the Lord! for He is glorious;

Never shall His promise fail;

God hath made His saints victorious;

Sin and death shall not prevail.

Praise the God of our salvation!

Host on high, His power proclaim;

Heaven and earth, and all creation,

Laud and magnify His name.

Amen
