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

4Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.

5 Let them praise the name of Jehovah, for he it is that commanded, and they were created:

5Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he commanded, and they were created.

6 And he established them for ever and ever; he made [for them] a statute which shall not pass.

6He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.

7 Praise Jehovah from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;

7Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:

8 Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind fulfilling his word;

13Let them praise the name of the Lord: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.
