Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD 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 ye 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 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.
He hath also established them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.
7 Lover Herren fra Jorden, I Søuhyrer og alle Dyb!
Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:
8 Ild og Hagel, Sne og Røg og Stormvejr, som udretter hans Ord!
Fire, and hail; snow, and vapours; stormy wind fulfilling his word:
9 I Bjerge og alle Høje, Frugttræer og alle Cedre!
Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
10 I vilde Dyr og alt Kvæg, Kryb og vingede Fugle!
Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:
11 I Konger paa Jorden og alle Folk, Fyrster og alle Dommere paa Jorden!
Kings of the earth, and all people; 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, and children:
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 the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.
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!
He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise ye the LORD.
