Bless the Lord, all you works of the Lord.
Praise and exalt him above all forever.

Angels of the Lord: bless the Lord.
You heavens: bless the Lord.
Sun and moon: bless the Lord.
Stars of heaven: bless the Lord.

Every shower and dew: bless the Lord.
All you winds: bless the Lord.
Fire and heat: bless the Lord.
Cold and chill: bless the Lord.
Nights and days: bless the Lord.
Lightnings and clouds: bless the Lord.

Let the earth bless the Lord.
Praise and exalt him above all forever.

Mountains and hills: bless the Lord.
Everything growing from the earth: bless the Lord.
Seas and rivers: bless the Lord.
You dolphins and all water creatures: bless the Lord.
All you birds of the air: bless the Lord.
All you beasts, wild and tame: bless the Lord.
You sons of men: bless the Lord.
Holy men of humble heart: bless the Lord.
