8 ogenj in toča, sneg in meglica, viharni veter, izpolnjujoč njegovo besedo,
and fire and hail, and snow and frost, and strong winds that obey what he commands, [I tell] all of you to praise Yahweh!
9 gore in vsi hribi, rodovitna drevesa in vse cedre,
Hills and mountains, fruit trees and cedar [trees],
10 živali in vsa živina, plazeče stvari in leteča perjad,
all the wild animals and all [you] cattle, and the (reptiles/creatures that scurry across the ground), and [all] the birds, [I tell all of them to praise Yahweh]!
11 kralji zemlje in vsi ljudje, princi in vsi zemeljski sodniki,
You kings on this earth and all the people [that you rule], you princes and all [other] rulers,
12 tako mladeniči kakor mladenke, starci in otroci;
you young men and young women, you old people and children, [everyone, praise Yahweh!]
13 naj hvalijo Gospodovo ime, kajti njegovo ime samó je odlično; njegova slava je nad zemljo in nebom.
I want them [all] to praise Yahweh [MTY] because he is greater than anyone else. His glory is greater than [anything on] the earth or [in] heaven.
14 Povišuje tudi rog svojega ljudstva, hvalo vseh njegovih svetih, celó Izraelovih otrok, ljudstva blizu njemu. Hvalite Gospoda.
He caused us, his people, to be strong in order that we, his people, we Israeli people (who are very precious to him/whom he loves very much), would praise him. So praise Yahweh!
