7 Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths.

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

8 Lightning and hail, snow and clouds; stormy wind, fulfilling his word;

9 mountains and all hills; fruit trees and all cedars;

Ye mountains, and all hills! Fruit-trees, and all cedars!

10 wild animals and all livestock; small creatures and flying birds;

Ye wild beasts, and all cattle! Ye creeping things, and winged birds!
