7Praise the Lord from the earth, and creatures from all the depths of the seas,
8lightning and hail, snow and clouds, and stormy wind—everything that does as he commands.
9Mountains and all the hills, fruit trees and all the trees of the forest,
10wild animals and all livestock, crawling animals and wild birds,
11earthly kings and all peoples, leaders and rulers of the world,
12young men and women, old people and children—
13Let them all praise the Lord, for his reputation is unequalled; his glory is above anything on earth or in heaven.
14He has given his people a source of strength, bringing praise to his faithful followers, the people of Israel who are dear to him. Praise the Lord!
