⁹you mountains and all hills,^e

fruit trees and all cedars,

¹⁰wild animals^f and all cattle,

small creatures and flying birds,

¹¹kings^g of the earth and all nations,

you princes and all rulers on earth,

¹²young men and women,

old men and children.

¹³Let them praise the name of the Lord,^h

the praise^l of all his faithful servants,^m
