1Hallelujah! Praise GOD from heaven, praise him from the mountaintops;
2Praise him, all you his angels, praise him, all you his warriors,
3Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, you morning stars;
4Praise him, high heaven, praise him, heavenly rain clouds;
5Praise, oh let them praise the name of GOD--he spoke the word, and there they were!
6He set them in place from all time to eternity; He gave his orders, and that's it!
7Praise GOD from earth, you sea dragons, you fathomless ocean deeps;
8Fire and hail, snow and ice, hurricanes obeying his orders;
9Mountains and all hills, apple orchards and cedar forests;
10Wild beasts and herds of cattle, snakes, and birds in flight;
11Earth's kings and all races, leaders and important people,
12Robust men and women in their prime, and yes, graybeards and little children.
13Let them praise the name of GOD--it's the only Name worth praising. His radiance exceeds anything in earth and sky;
14he's built a monument--his very own people! Praise from all who love GOD! Israel's children, intimate friends of GOD. Hallelujah!
