praise him and highly exalt him for ever.

O heavens and all waters above the heavens.

4. Sun and moon and stars of the sky, glorify the Lord,
praise him and highly exalt him for ever.

5. Glorify the Lord, every shower of rain and fall of dew,
all winds and fire and heat.

6. Winter and summer, glorify the Lord,
praise him and highly exalt him for ever.

7. Glorify the Lord, O chill and cold,
drops of dew and flakes of snow.

praise him and highly exalt him for ever.

9. Glorify the Lord, O nights and days,
O shining light and enfolding dark.

praise him and highly exalt him for ever.

and all that grows upon the earth,
praise him and highly exalt him for ever.

O whales and all that move in the waters.

14. All birds of the air, glorify the Lord,
praise him and highly exalt him for ever.

15. Glorify the Lord, O beast of the wild,
and all you flocks and herds.

praise him and highly exalt him for ever.

praise him and highly exalt him for ever.
