1 Halleluja! Pris HERREN i Himlen, pris ham i det høje!
Praise ye Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens. Praise him in the heights.
2 Pris ham, alle hans Engle, pris ham, alle hans Hærskarer,
Praise ye him, all his agents. Praise ye him, all his host.
3 pris ham, Sol og Maane, pris ham, hver lysende Stjerne,
Praise ye him, sun and moon. Praise him, all ye stars of light.
4 pris ham, Himlenes Himle og Vandene over Himlene!
Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.
5 De skal prise HERRENS Navn, thi han bød, og de blev skabt;
Let them praise the name of Jehovah. For he commanded, and they were created.
6 han gav dem deres Plads for evigt, han gav en Lov, som de ej overtræder!
He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which shall not pass away.
7 Lad Pris stige op til HERREN fra Jorden, I Havdyr og alle Dyb,
Praise Jehovah from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps,
8 Ild og Hagl, Sne og Røg, Storm, som gør, hvad han siger,
fire and hail, snow and vapor, 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, Krybdyr og vingede Fugle,
beasts and all cattle, creeping things and flying birds,
11 I Jordens Konger og alle Folkeslag, Fyrster og alle Jordens Dommere,
kings of the earth and all peoples, rulers and all judges of the earth,
12 Ynglinge sammen med Jomfruer, gamle sammen med unge!
both young men and virgins, old men and sons.
13 De skal prise HERRENS Navn, thi ophøjet er hans Navn alene, hans Højhed omspænder Jord og Himmel.
Let them praise the name of Jehovah, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
14 Han løfter et Horn for sit Folk, lovprist af alle sine fromme, af Israels Børn, det Folk, der staar ham nær. Halleluja!
And he has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his sanctified, even of the sons of Israel, a people near to him. Praise ye Jehovah.
