11 k ings of the earth and all the peoples, princes and all judges of the earth,

13 L et them praise the name of the LORD; for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above earth and heavens.

14 H e has exalted the horn of his people; let all his merciful ones praise him; even of the sons of Israel, the people near unto him. Halelu-JAH.
