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.
