Psalms 148:4
2 Praise Him, all His angels; praise Him, all His heavenly hosts.
3 Praise Him, O sun and moon; praise Him, all you shining stars.
Praise Him, O highest heavens, and you waters above the skies.
5 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for He gave the command and they were created.
6 He established them forever and ever; He issued a decree that will never pass away.
