Psalms 148:4 Heuenes of heuenes, herie ye hym; and the watris that ben aboue heuenes, Psalms 148:5 herie ye the name of the Lord. For he seide, and thingis weren maad; Psalms 148:6 he comaundide, and thingis weren maad of nouyt. He ordeynede tho thingis in to the world, and in to the world of world; he settide a comaundement, and it schal not passe.

His knouleching be on heuene and erthe; Psalms 148:14 and he hath enhaunsid the horn of his puple. An ympne be to alle hise seyntis; to the children of Israel, to a puple neiyynge to hym.
