Give praise to the Lord from the earth, you great sea-beasts, and deep places: |

Mountains and all hills; fruit-trees and all trees of the mountains: |

Kings of the earth, and all peoples; rulers and all judges of the earth: |

Young men and virgins; old men and children: |

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. |
