From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Praise the Lord from the earth -From among those who dwell on the earth. In respect to terrestrial objects, let these also unite in the praise of God. Ye dragons -On the meaning of this word, seePsalms 91:13, note;Isaiah 13:22, note. The word may mean a great fish, a whale, a sea monster, or a serpent. It would seem to refer here to whales and sea monsters. See the notes atRevelation 12:3. And all deeps -All that are in the depths of the sea. Not merely the “dragons” or sea monsters, but all that inhabit the oceans.
