1Hallelujah. Praise ye HaShem from the heavens; praise Him in the heights.

2Praise ye Him, all His angels; praise ye Him, all His hosts.

3Praise ye Him, sun and moon; praise Him, all ye stars of light.

4Praise Him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.

5Let them praise the name of HaShem; for He commanded, and they were created.

6He hath also established them for ever and ever; He hath made a decree which shall not be transgressed.

7Praise HaShem from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;

8Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind, fulfilling His word;

9Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars;

10Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;

11Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth;

12Both young men and maidens, old men and children;

13Let them praise the name of HaShem, for His name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven.

14And He hath lifted up a horn for His people, a praise for all His saints, even for the children of Israel, a people near unto Him. Hallelujah.
