<h3>THE UNITED SONG OF PRAISE</h3>
<div class='poem'>
Praise the Lord from the heavens,<br/>
Praise him on the heights.<br/>
Praise him, all his angels,<br/>
Praise him, all his host!<br/>
<br/>
Praise him, sun and moon,<br/>
<span class="pagenum"><SPAN name="Page_207" id="Page_207">[207]</SPAN></span>Praise him, all stars of light!<br/>
Praise him, heavens of heavens,<br/>
And waters above the heavens!<br/>
<br/>
Let them praise the name of the Lord,<br/>
For at his command they were made;<br/>
He fixed them forever and ever,<br/>
Set a bound they must not pass.<br/>
<br/>
Praise the Lord from the earth,<br/>
Sea-monsters and all deeps!<br/>
Fire, hail, snow, and vapor,<br/>
Storm wind, fulfilling his word!<br/>
<br/>
Mountains and all hills,<br/>
Fruit-trees and all cedars!<br/>
Wild beasts and all cattle,<br/>
Creeping things and winged birds!<br/>
<br/>
Kings of earth and all peoples,<br/>
All rulers and judges of earth,<br/>
Young men and maidens too,<br/>
Old men and children together!<br/>
<br/>
Let them praise the name of the Lord,<br/>
For his name alone is exalted.<br/>
Over heaven and earth is his majesty,<br/>
He has strengthened the might of his people;<br/>
He is praised by all who are faithful,<br/>
By the Israelites, who are near him.<br/>
<br/>
Praise God in his holy place,<br/>
Praise him for his mighty firmament,<br/>
Praise him for his deeds of power,<br/>
Praise him for his infinite greatness.<br/>
<br/>
Praise him with the blast of the horn,<br/>
Praise him with lyre and harp,<br/>
Praise him with timbrel and dance,<br/>
Praise him with strings and pipe,<br/>
Praise him with clanging cymbals,<br/>
<span class="pagenum"><SPAN name="Page_208" id="Page_208">[208]</SPAN></span>Praise him with clashing cymbals.<br/>
Let all that breathes praise the Lord!<br/></div>
