4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, you waters that are above the heavens.
Praise him, ye heavens of heavens: and let all the waters that are above the heavens
5 Let them praise the LORD’s name, 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.
He hath established them for ever, and for ages of ages: he hath made a decree, and it shall not pass away.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths,
Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all ye deeps:
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind, fulfilling his word,
Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy winds which fulfill his word:
9 mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars:
10 wild animals and all livestock, small creatures and flying birds,
Beasts and all cattle: serpents and feathered fowls:
11 kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth,
Kings of the earth and all people: princes and all judges of the earth:
12 both young men and maidens, old men and children.
Young men and maidens: let the old with the younger, praise the name of the Lord:
13 Let them praise the LORD’s name, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
For his name alone is exalted.
14 He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his holy ones, even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise the LORD!
The praise of him is above heaven and earth: and he hath exalted the horn of his people. A hymn to all his saints: to the children of Israel, a people approaching to him. Alleluia.
