Praise JAH. Praise YHWH from the heavens. Praise him in the heights.
2 Lova honom, alle hans englar, lova honom, all hans her!
Praise him, all his angels. Praise him, all his army.
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, you heavens of heavens, You waters that are above the heavens.
5 Dei skal lova Herrens namn, for han baud, og dei vart skapte,
Let them praise the name of YHWH, For he commanded, and they were created.
6 og han stelte deim upp for alltid og æveleg, han gav ei lov som ingen bryt.
He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.
7 Lova Herren frå jordi, de store sjødyr og alle djup,
Praise YHWH from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths.
8 Eld og hagl, snø og eim, du storm som set hans ord i verk,
Lightning and hail, snow and clouds; stormy wind, fulfilling his word;
9 de fjell og alle haugar, aldetre og alle cedrar,
mountains and all hills; fruit trees and all cedars;
10 de ville dyr og alt fe, krekande dyr og fljugande fuglar;
wild animals and all livestock; small creatures and flying birds;
11 de kongar på jordi og alle folk, de hovdingar og alle domarar på jordi,
kings of the earth and all peoples; princes and all judges of the earth;
12 de unge gutar og gjentor, de gamle med dei unge!
both young men and maidens; old men and children:
13 Dei skal lova Herrens namn, for berre hans namn er høgt, hans herlegdom er yver jord og himmel,
let them praise the name of YHWH, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
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 lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his faithful ones; even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise JAH.
