Laudate Dominum de caelis. All creatures are invited to praise their Creator. Alleluia.

[1] Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise ye him in the high places. [2] Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts. [3] Praise ye him, O sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars and light. [4] Praise him, ye heavens of heavens: and let all the waters that are above the heavens [5] Praise the name of the Lord. For he spoke, and they were made: he commanded, and they were created.

[6] He hath established them for ever, and for ages of ages: he hath made a decree, and it shall not pass away. [7] Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all ye deeps: [8] Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy winds which fulfill his word: [9] Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars: [10] Beasts and all cattle: serpents and feathered fowls:

[11] Kings of the earth and all people: princes and all judges of the earth: [12] Young men and maidens: let the old with the younger, praise the name of the Lord: [13] For his name alone is exalted. [14] The praise of him is above heaven and earth: and he hath exalted the horn of his people. A hymn to all his saints: to the children of Israel, a people approaching to him. Alleluia.
