4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and the water that is above the heavens.

Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that [be] above the heavens.

5 Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he spoke, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.

Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.

6 He has established them for ever, even for ever and ever: he has made an ordinance, and it shall not pass away.

He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.

7 Praise the Lord from the earth, ye serpents, and all deeps.

Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:

13 let them praise the name of the Lord: for his name only is exalted; his praise is above the earth and heaven,

Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory [is] above the earth and heaven.

14 and he shall exalt the horn of his people, [there is] a hymn for all his saints, [even] of the children of Israel, a people who draw near to him.

He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; [even] of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD.
