5 Let them praise the name of YHWH, For he commanded, and they were created.

6 He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.

14 He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his faithful ones; even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise JAH.

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.
