Psalms 148:7-14
Psalms 148:7-14 The Message (MSG)
Praise GOD from earth, you sea dragons, you fathomless ocean deeps; Fire and hail, snow and ice, hurricanes obeying his orders; Mountains and all hills, apple orchards and cedar forests; Wild beasts and herds of cattle, snakes, and birds in flight; Earth’s kings and all races, leaders and important people, Robust men and women in their prime, and yes, graybeards and little children. Let them praise the name of GOD— it’s the only Name worth praising. His radiance exceeds anything in earth and sky; he’s built a monument—his very own people!
Psalms 148:7-14 King James Version (KJV)
Praise the LORD from the earth, Ye dragons, and all deeps: Fire, and hail; snow, and vapours; Stormy wind fulfilling his word: Mountains, and all hills; Fruitful trees, and all cedars: Beasts, and all cattle; Creeping things, and flying fowl: Kings of the earth, and all people; Princes, and all judges of the earth: Both young men, and maidens; Old men, and children: Let them praise the name of the LORD: For his name alone is excellent; His glory is above the earth and heaven. He also exalteth the horn of his people, The praise of all his saints; Even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD.

Let the earth join in with this parade of praise! You mighty creatures of the ocean’s depths, echo in exaltation!
