Praise the Lord! Praise God in his Temple; praise him in his mighty heaven.
The Lord looked down from his holy place above; from heaven he looked down at the earth.
Raise your hands in the Temple and praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord! Sing a new song to the Lord; sing his praise in the meeting of his people.
The heavens declare the glory of God, and the skies announce what his hands have made.
Day after day they tell the story; night after night they tell it again.
The Lord’s voice shakes the oaks and strips the leaves off the trees. In his Temple everyone says, “Glory to God!”
Then I looked and saw in the dome above the heads of the living creatures something like a sapphire gem which looked like a throne.
The wise people will shine like the brightness of the sky. Those who teach others to live right will shine like stars forever and ever.
