Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from heaven; praise him in the heights above!
2 Lova honom, alle hans englar, lova honom, all hans her!
Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his heavenly armies!
3 Lova honom, sol og måne, lova honom, alle lysande stjernor!
Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
4 Lova honom, de himle-himlar, og de vatn ovanfor himlarne!
Praise him, highest heavens, and the waters above the heavens!
5 Dei skal lova Herrens namn, for han baud, og dei vart skapte,
Let them all praise the Lord and his nature, for he gave the order and they were created.
6 og han stelte deim upp for alltid og æveleg, han gav ei lov som ingen bryt.
He placed them in their positions forever and ever; he established a law that will never end.
7 Lova Herren frå jordi, de store sjødyr og alle djup,
Praise the Lord from the earth, and creatures from all the depths of the seas,
8 Eld og hagl, snø og eim, du storm som set hans ord i verk,
lightning and hail, snow and clouds, and stormy wind—everything that does as he commands.
9 de fjell og alle haugar, aldetre og alle cedrar,
Mountains and all the hills, fruit trees and all the trees of the forest,
10 de ville dyr og alt fe, krekande dyr og fljugande fuglar;
wild animals and all livestock, crawling animals and wild birds,
11 de kongar på jordi og alle folk, de hovdingar og alle domarar på jordi,
earthly kings and all peoples, leaders and rulers of the world,
12 de unge gutar og gjentor, de gamle med dei unge!
young men and women, old people and children—
13 Dei skal lova Herrens namn, for berre hans namn er høgt, hans herlegdom er yver jord og himmel,
Let them all praise the Lord, for his reputation is unequalled; his glory is above anything on earth or in heaven.
14 og han hev lyft upp eit horn for sitt folk, til ein lovsong for alle sine trugne, for Israels born, det folk som er honom nær. Halleluja!
He has given his people a source of strength, bringing praise to his faithful followers, the people of Israel who are dear to him. Praise the Lord!
