Psalms 148:7
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.
Praise the LORD from the earth, all great sea creatures and ocean depths,
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, powerful wind fulfilling His word,
9 mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
