5 De skulle love Herrens Navn; thi han bød, og de bleve skabte.
Let them praise the name of the Lord; for he 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 to eternity: he gave a decree which none shall transgress.
7 Lover Herren fra Jorden, I Søuhyrer og alle Dyb!
Praise the Lord 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 vapor; thou storm-wind that fulfillest his word;

Ye mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars;
10 I vilde Dyr og alt Kvæg, Kryb og vingede Fugle!
Ye beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and winged birds;
11 I Konger paa Jorden og alle Folk, Fyrster og alle Dommere paa Jorden!
Ye kings of the earth, and all nations; ye princes, and all judges of the earth;
12 Unge Karle og Jomfruer tillige, de gamle med de unge!

He also exalteth the horn of his people, a praise unto all his pious servants, [even] unto the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Hallelujah.
