5 De skal prise HERRENS Navn, thi han bød, og de blev skabt;

Let them praise the name of the Lord; for he commanded and they were created.

6 han gav dem deres Plads for evigt, han gav en Lov, som de ej overtræder!

And he established them for ever and to eternity: he gave a decree which none shall transgress.

7 Lad Pris stige op til HERREN fra Jorden, I Havdyr og alle Dyb,

Praise the Lord 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; thou storm-wind that fulfillest his word;

9 I Bjerge og alle Høje, Frugttræer og alle Cedre,

Ye mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars;

10 I vilde Dyr og alt Kvæg, Krybdyr og vingede Fugle,

Ye beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and winged birds;

11 I Jordens Konger og alle Folkeslag, Fyrster og alle Jordens Dommere,

Ye kings of the earth, and all nations; ye princes, and all judges of the earth;

12 Ynglinge sammen med Jomfruer, gamle sammen med unge!

Young men and also virgins; old men, together with boys: —

13 De skal prise HERRENS Navn, thi ophøjet er hans Navn alene, hans Højhed omspænder Jord og Himmel.

Let them praise the name of the Lord; for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above earth and heaven.

14 Han løfter et Horn for sit Folk, lovprist af alle sine fromme, af Israels Børn, det Folk, der staar ham nær. Halleluja!

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.
