4 Lover ham, Himlenes Himle! og I Vande, som ere over Himlene!
Praise him, highest heavens, and the waters above the heavens!
5 De skulle love Herrens Navn; thi han bød, og de bleve skabte.
Let them all praise the Lord and his nature, for he gave the order and they were created.
6 Og han har stillet dem hen for bestandig, evindelig; han satte dem en Lov, og den skal ikke overskrides.
He placed them in their positions forever and ever; he established a law that will never end.
7 Lover Herren fra Jorden, I Søuhyrer og alle Dyb!
Praise the Lord from the earth, and creatures from all the depths of the seas,

Mountains and all the hills, fruit trees and all the trees of the forest,
10 I vilde Dyr og alt Kvæg, Kryb og vingede Fugle!
wild animals and all livestock, crawling animals and wild birds,
11 I Konger paa Jorden og alle Folk, Fyrster og alle Dommere paa Jorden!
earthly kings and all peoples, leaders and rulers of the world,
12 Unge Karle og Jomfruer tillige, de gamle med de unge!
young men and women, old people and children—
13 De skulle love Herrens Navn; thi hans Navn alene er ophøjet, hans Majestæt er over Jorden og Himmelen.
Let them all praise the Lord, for his reputation is unequalled; his glory is above anything on earth or in heaven.

He has given his people a source of strength, bringing praise to his faithful followers, the people of Israel who are dear to him. Praise the Lord!
