Give praise to him, all you his angels: give praise to him, all his armies.
3 Ɣe kple ɣleti nekafui, mikafui, mi ɣletivi keklẽwo.
Give praise to him, you sun and moon: give praise to him, all you stars of light.

Fire and rain of ice, snow and mists; storm-wind, doing his word:

Mountains and all hills; fruit-trees and all trees of the mountains:

Kings of the earth, and all peoples; rulers and all judges of the earth:

Young men and virgins; old men and children:
13 Mikafu Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ, elabena eƒe ŋkɔ ɖeɖe koe de dzi, eye eƒe atsyɔ̃ le anyigba kple dziƒowo tame.
Let them give glory to the name of the Lord: for his name only is to be praised: his kingdom is over the earth and the heaven.

He has put on high the horn of his people, for the praise of all his saints; even the children of Israel, a people which is near to him. Let the Lord be praised.
