1 Lover Herren fra Himlene, lover ham i det høje!
Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah from the heavens; praise him in the heights.
2 Lover ham, alle hans Engle! lover ham, alle hans Hærskarer!
Praise ye him, all his angels; praise ye him, all his hosts.
3 Lover ham, Sol og Maane! lover ham, alle Lysets Stjerner!
Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all ye stars of light.
4 Lover ham, Himlenes Himle! og I Vande, som ere over Himlene!
Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.
5 De skulle love Herrens Navn; thi han bød, og de bleve skabte.
Let them praise the name of Jehovah, for he it is that commanded, and they were created:
6 Og han har stillet dem hen for bestandig, evindelig; han satte dem en Lov, og den skal ikke overskrides.
And he established them for ever and ever; he made [for them] a statute which shall not pass.
7 Lover Herren fra Jorden, I Søuhyrer og alle Dyb!
Praise Jehovah from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;
8 Ild og Hagel, Sne og Røg og Stormvejr, som udretter hans Ord!
Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind fulfilling his word;
9 I Bjerge og alle Høje, Frugttræer og alle Cedre!
Mountains and all hills, fruit-trees and all cedars;
10 I vilde Dyr og alt Kvæg, Kryb og vingede Fugle!
Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;
11 I Konger paa Jorden og alle Folk, Fyrster og alle Dommere paa Jorden!
Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth;
12 Unge Karle og Jomfruer tillige, de gamle med de unge!
Both young men and maidens, old men with youths, —
13 De skulle love Herrens Navn; thi hans Navn alene er ophøjet, hans Majestæt er over Jorden og Himmelen.
Let them praise the name of Jehovah: for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above the earth and the heavens.
14 Og han har ophøjet et Horn for sit Folk, han, der er en Lovsang for alle sine hellige, for Israels Børn, det Folk, der er ham nær. Halleluja!
And he hath lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, [even] of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Hallelujah!
