5 Let them praise the name of the LORD; for He commanded, and they were created.

6 He hath also established them for ever and ever; He hath made a decree which shall not be transgressed.
He has established them for ever, even for ever and ever: he has made an ordinance, and it shall not pass away.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;
Praise the Lord from the earth, you serpents, and all deeps.
8 Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind, fulfilling His word;
Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy wind; the things that perform his word.
9 Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars;
Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
10 Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;

11 Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth;
kings of the earth, and all peoples; princes, and all judges of the earth:

14 And He hath lifted up a horn for His people, a praise for all His saints, even for the children of Israel, a people near unto Him. Hallelujah.
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.
