Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, And ye waters that are above the heavens.

Let them praise the name of Jehovah; For he commanded, and they were created.
6 O doro ha nʼọnọdụ ha ga-anọ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi; o nyere iwu nke a na-agaghị agabiga.
He hath also established them for ever and ever: He hath made a decree which shall not pass away.

And he hath lifted up the horn of his people, The praise of all his saints; Even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye Jehovah.
