he has given them their limits which may not be broken.
- 7
- Give praise to the Lord from the earth, you great sea-beasts, and deep places:

- Fire and rain of ice, snow and mists;
storm-wind, doing his word:

- Mountains and all hills;
fruit-trees and all trees of the mountains:
- 10
- Beasts and all cattle;
insects and winged birds:
- 11
- Kings of the earth, and all peoples;
rulers and all judges of the earth:
- 12
- Young men and virgins;
old men and children:
- 13
- Let them give glory to the name of the Lord: for his name only is to be praised: his kingdom is over the earth and the heaven.
- 14
- He has put on high the horn of his people, for the praise of all his saints;
even the children of Israel, a people which is near to him.
Let the Lord be praised.
