Hallelujah. I will thank the Lord with all [my] heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

2 Store er Herrens verk, gjenomtenkte etter alle sine fyremål.

Great are the works of the Lord, they are sought for [by them] in all their desires.

3 Høgd og herlegdom er hans gjerning, og hans rettferd stend æveleg fast.

Glorious and majestic is his doing, and his righteousness endureth for ever.

4 Han hev sett eit minne for sine under, nådig og miskunnsam er Herren.

The works of his hands are truth and justice: faultless are all his precepts.

8 fast stend dei æveleg og alltid, dei er gjorde i sanning og rettvisa.
