Praise Him, sun and moon; Praise Him, all you stars of light! 4. Praise Him, you heavens of heavens, And you waters above the heavens! 5. Let them praise the name of the LORD, For He commanded and they were created. 6. He also established them forever and ever; He made a decree which shall not pass away. 7. Praise the LORD from the earth, You great sea creatures and all the depths; 8. Fire and hail, snow and clouds; Stormy wind, fulfilling His word; 9. Mountains and all hills; Fruitful trees and all cedars; 10. Beasts and all cattle; Creeping things and flying fowl; 11. Kings of the earth and all peoples; Princes and all judges of the earth; 12. Both young men and maidens; Old men and children. 13. Let them praise the name of the LORD, For His name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven. 14. And He has exalted the horn of His people, The praise of all His saints––Of the children of Israel, A people near to Him. Praise the LORD!
1. Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, And His praise in the assembly of saints. 2. Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. 3. Let them praise His name with the dance; Let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp. 4. For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation. 5. Let the saints be joyful in glory; Let them sing aloud on their beds. 6. Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two–edged sword in their hand, 7. To execute vengeance on the nations, And punishments on the peoples; 8. To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron; 9. To execute on them the written judgment––This honor have all His saints. Praise the LORD!

Praise Him with loud cymbals; Praise Him with clashing cymbals! 6. Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD!
11. Then He said: "A certain man had two sons. 12. "And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me .’ So he divided to them his livelihood. 13. "And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living. 14. "But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land, and he began to be in want. 15. "Then he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16. "And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything . 17. "But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18. ‘I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, 19. "and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants."’ 20. "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. 21. "And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ 22. "But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. 23. ‘And bring the fatted calf here and kill it , and let us eat and be merry; 24. ‘for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to be merry. 25. "Now his older son was in the field. And as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. 26. "So he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant. 27. "And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and because he has received him safe and sound, your father has killed the fatted calf.’ 28. "But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and pleaded with him. 29. "So he answered and said to his father, ‘Lo, these many years I have been serving you; I never transgressed your commandment at any time; and yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might make merry with my friends. 30. ‘But as soon as this son of yours came, who has devoured your livelihood with harlots, you killed the fatted calf for him.’ 31. "And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours. 32. ‘It was right that we should make merry and be glad, for your brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is found.’"
