7 Praise Jehovah from the earth, Ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;
Praise the LORD from the earth, Ye sea-monsters, and all deeps!

Fire and hail, snow and vapor; Thou tempest, that fulfillest his word!
9 Mountains and all hills; Fruitful trees and all cedars;
Ye mountains, and all hills! Fruit-trees, and all cedars!
10 Beasts and all cattle; Creeping things and flying birds;
Ye wild beasts, and all cattle! Ye creeping things, and winged birds!
11 Kings of the earth and all peoples; Princes and all judges of the earth;
Ye kings, and all peoples, Princes, and all judges of the earth!
12 Both young men and virgins; Old men and children:
Young men and maidens, Old men and children!
13 Let them praise the name of Jehovah; For his name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and the heavens.

He exalteth the horn of his people, The glory of all his godly ones, Of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise ye the LORD!
