4 Praise Him, heavens of heavens, And you waters that are above the heavens.

5 They praise the Name of YHWH, For He commanded, and they were created.

6 And He establishes them forever and for all time, He gave a statute, and they do not pass over.

7 Praise YHWH from the earth, Dragons and all deeps,
Praise Adonai from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths!

He has lifted up the horn of his people, the tehilah ·praise song· of all his saints; even of the children of Israel [God prevails], a people near to him. Halleluyah ·praise Yah·!
