1 Alleluia, a Psalm of Aggæus and Zacharias. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens : praise him in the highest.
2 Praise ye him, all his angels : praise ye him, all his hosts.
3 Praise him, sun and moon : praise him, all ye stars and light.
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and the water that is above the heavens.
5 Let them praise the name of the Lord : for he spoke, and they were made ; he commanded, and they were created.
6 He has established them for ever, even for ever and ever : he has made an ordinance, and it shall not pass away.
7 Praise the Lord from the earth, ye serpents, and all deeps.
8 Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy wind ; the things that perform his word.
9 Mountains, and all hills ; fruitful trees, and all cedars :
10 wild beasts, and all cattle ; reptiles, and winged birds :
11 kings of the earth, and all peoples ; princes, and all judges of the earth :
12 young men and virgins, old men with youths :
13 let them praise the name of the Lord : for his name only is exalted ; his praise is above the earth and heaven,
