Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and the water that is above the heavens.
5 De skal love Herrens navn; for han bød, og de blev skapt,
Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he spoke, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.
6 og han satte dem på deres sted for all tid, for evig; han gav en lov som ingen av dem overskrider.
He has established them for ever, even for ever and ever: he has made an ordinance, and it shall not pass away.

9 I fjell og alle hauger, frukttrær og alle sedrer,
Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
10 I ville dyr og alt fe, krypdyr og vingede fugler,
wild beasts, and all cattle; reptiles, and winged birds:
11 I jordens konger og alle folk, fyrster og alle jordens dommere,
kings of the earth, and all peoples; princes, and all judges of the earth:
12 unge menn og jomfruer, gamle sammen med unge!
young men and virgins, old men with youths:
13 De skal love Herrens navn; for hans navn alene er ophøiet, hans herlighet er over jorden og himmelen,
let them praise the name of the Lord: for his name only is exalted; his praise is above the earth and heaven,
14 og han har ophøiet et horn for sitt folk til en lovsang for alle sine fromme, for Israels barn, det folk som er ham nær. Halleluja!
and he shall exalt the horn of his people, [there is] a hymn for all his saints, [even] of the children of Israel, a people who draw near to him.
