3. Praise the Lord, everyone!

4. Everything, praise him!

5. Praise him from our skies;

6. praise him from outer space.

7. Praise him, you astronauts;

8. praise him, all children of the stars.

9. Praise him, sun and moon; Praise him, sun and moon;

10. praise him, all distant galaxies.

11. Praise him, all who are close to his heart;

12. praise him, all mysteries beyond our knowledge.

13. All of you, praise the Lord,

14. for he speaks and you come into being.

15. He gives you a place for ever;

16. He fixes the universal laws.

17. Praise the Lord from this planet earth:

18. rolling ocean and powerful hurricane;

19. Lightning, hail, snow, and ice;

20. wind and storm fulfilling his purposes;

21. Our mountains, plains, and hills;

22. our orchards, cane-fields, and forests;

23. Kangaroo, possum, and platypus;

24. lizard and snake,

25. black swan and rosella parrot.

26. Prime ministers and presidents of the earth;

27. Cabinet ministers and high court judges;

28. Exuberant teenagers,

29. old people and children,

30. Come on, all of you, praise the Lord;

31. he alone is worth it!

32. His glory transfigures this earth,

33. and blazes from a million suns.

34. He has given humankind high honour;

35. heroes will applause his faithfulness.

36. Those who trust his presence will shout:

37. Praise the Lord!
