The voice is actually not speaking in the third person about the people whom he wants to Praise … God. The voice is using a vocative form. However, if your language does not have a vocative form and it might appear as if the voice is using the third person for people whom he is addressing, you could use the second person in your translation. Alternate translation: [you his servants and you who fear him]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

οἱ φοβούμενοι αὐτόν

¬the you_all revering him

In this context, the word fearing does not mean to be afraid but to show respect and reverence. Alternate translation: [the ones who revere him] or [you who revere him]

The voice is speaking as if unimportant people were literally small and as if important people were literally large or great. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the unimportant and the important]

The voice is using the adjectives small and great as nouns to mean certain kinds of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate these words with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: [both unimportant people and important people]
