Praise him, sun and moon, Praise him, all ye stars of light;
4 Mi dziƒo kɔkɔtɔwo, mikafui, eye mi tsi siwo le alilĩa tame hã mikafui.
Praise him, O ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens;
5 Wo katã nekafu Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ, elabena eɖe gbe, eye wova dzɔ.
Let them praise the Name of Yahweh, for, he, commanded, and they were created;
6 Etsɔ wo ɖo wo nɔƒe tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me, ede se si nu mayi akpɔ gbeɖe o.
So caused he them to stand perpetually—age-abidingly, A decree, hath he given, and it passeth not beyond.

Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind, fulfilling his word;
9 mi towo kple togbɛwo katã, atikutsetsetiwo kple sedatiwo katã,
Ye mountains, and all hills, fruit trees, and all cedars;

Kings of earth, and all peoples, Rulers, and all judges of earth;
12 ɖekakpuiwo kple ɖetugbiwo, ame tsitsiwo kple ɖeviwo siaa nekafui.
Young men, yea even virgins, elders, and children.

Let them praise the Name of Yahweh, for lofty is his Name alone, His splendour is over earth and heavens.
14 Ena dzo aɖe do na eƒe dukɔ, esi nye Israel, eƒe ame kɔkɔewo katã ƒe kafukafu, ame siwo tsɔ ɖe eƒe dzi gbɔ. Mikafu Yehowa.
Therefore hath he exalted a horn for his people, a praise for all his men of lovingkindness, for the sons of Israel—a people near him, Praise ye Yah!
