Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the hights.
2 Pris ham, alle hans Engle, pris ham, alle hans Hærskarer,
Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
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 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!
He hath also established them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.
7 Lad Pris stige op til HERREN fra Jorden, I Havdyr og alle Dyb,
Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:
8 Ild og Hagl, Sne og Røg, Storm, som gør, hvad han siger,
Fire, and hail; snow, and vapors; 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 animals, and flying fowl:
11 I Jordens Konger og alle Folkeslag, Fyrster og alle Jordens Dommere,
Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:
12 Ynglinge sammen med Jomfruer, gamle sammen med unge!
Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:
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 excellent; his glory [is] above the 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, the praise of all his saints; [even] of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise ye the LORD.
