Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the heights. 2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts. 3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light. 4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. 5 Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he commanded, and they were created. 6 He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass. 7 Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps: 8 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapours; stormy wind fulfilling his word: 9 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars: 10 Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl: 11 Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth: 12 Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children: 13 Let them praise the name of the Lord: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven. 14 He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the Lord. == Notes == Cross Reference == Concordance == Commentary == Rashi ==== Verse 3 stars of the night Heb. כוכבי אור, stars of the night. ==== Verse 6 He issued a decree to them, that this one should serve by day and that one should serve by night. which will not change That decree. ==== Verse 7 sea monsters Heb. תנינים, huge fish. ==== Verse 8 and hail Heb. וברד, gresle or grezle in Old French, hail. snow Heb. שלג, neyf or nayf in old French, snow. and vapor וקיטור, an expression of a mist called bruine or broine in Old French, mist, fog. a storm wind which performs His word and His mission.
