Praise Him, all stars of light!
4 Praise Him, (E)heavens of heavens,
And the (F)waters that are above the heavens!
5 Let them praise the name of Yahweh,
For (G)He commanded and they were created.

He gave a (I)statute and it will never pass away.
7 Praise Yahweh from the earth,
(J)Sea monsters and all (K)deeps;
8 (L)Fire and hail, (M)snow and (N)clouds;
(O)Stormy wind, (P)doing His word;

11 (U)Kings of the earth and all peoples;
Princes and all [b]judges of the earth;

The old with the young.
16 And the twenty-four elders, who (A)sit on their thrones before God, (B)fell on their faces and worshiped God, 17 saying,
“We give You thanks, (C)O Lord God, the Almighty, who is and who was, because You have taken Your great power and have begun to (D)reign. 18 And (E)the nations were enraged, and (F)Your rage came, and (G)the time came for the dead to be judged, and to give reward to Your (H)slaves—the prophets and the saints and those who fear Your name, (I)the small and the great—and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”
19 And (J)the sanctuary of God which is in heaven was opened, and (K)the ark of His covenant appeared in His sanctuary, and there were flashes of (L)lightning and sounds and peals of thunder and an earthquake and a (M)great [a]hailstorm.
