English poem
PSAL. CXLVIII. Second Meeter. Hallelujah
by Anonymous
Praise ye the Lord, from heav,n him praise him in the heights O praise. O ye his Angels all him praise all ye his host him praise. Praise ye him Sun and Moon, and him all Stars of light praise ye. Ye heaven's of heave'ns, O praise ye him 'bove heav'ns and waters ye.
Let them the Lords Name praise, because he bade, and made were they. Yea, he them fix'd for aye: the Law he made shall not decay. Jehovah praise ye from the earth, ye Dragons, and all deeps. The fire and hail, the snow and mist, whirlwind, his word that keeps.
All hills and mountains, fruitful trees, ye Cedars all likewise. Beasts and all cattel, creeping things, and every fowl that flies. Kings of the earth, and people all, Peers, all th' earths Judges too. Young men and maidens, both the same old men and children do.
Let these the Lords Name Praise, because his Name alone on high. Exalted is, his glory is above the earth and sky. Yea, he exalts his peoples horn, of all his Saints the praise. Of Isr'els sons, a folk him near; therefore Jehovah praise.
