Let heavenand earthpraiseHim, The seasand everythingthat movesin them.
Shoutfor joy,O heavens!And rejoice,O earth!Breakforthinto joyfulshouting,O mountains!For the LORDhas comfortedHis peopleAnd will havecompassionon His afflicted.
Let everythingthat has breathpraisethe LORD.Praisethe LORD!
Let the heavensbe glad,and let the earthrejoice;Let the searoar,and allit contains;
"For you will goout with joyAnd be ledforthwith peace;The mountainsand the hillswill breakforthinto shoutsof joybeforeyou, And allthe treesof the fieldwill clap[their] hands.
Then Godsaid,"Let the watersteemwith swarmsof livingcreatures,and let birdsflyabovethe earthin the openexpanseof the heavens."
Thiswill be writtenfor the generationto come,That a peopleyet to be createdmay praisethe LORD.
