He determined the places where they should be [in the sky], and he commanded that they should be there forever. They cannot disobey that command!

Hills and mountains, fruit trees and cedar [trees],

all the wild animals and all [you] cattle, and the (reptiles/creatures that scurry across the ground), and [all] the birds, [I tell all of them to praise Yahweh]!

You kings on this earth and all the people [that you rule], you princes and all [other] rulers,

I want them [all] to praise Yahweh [MTY] because he is greater than anyone else. His glory is greater than [anything on] the earth or [in] heaven.
14 Ó sì gbé ìwo kan sókè fún àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀, ìyìn fún gbogbo ènìyàn mímọ́ rẹ̀ àní fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, àwọn ènìyàn tí ó súnmọ́ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀. Ẹ fi ìyìn fún Olúwa.
He caused us, his people, to be strong in order that we, his people, we Israeli people (who are very precious to him/whom he loves very much), would praise him. So praise Yahweh!
