1 Msifuni Yahwe. Msifuni Yahwe, ninyi mlio katika mbingu; msifuni yeye, ninyi mlio juu.
Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh from the heavens! Praise him in the heights!
2 Msifuni yeye, enyi malaika wake wote; msifuni yeye, majeshi ya malaika wake wote.
Praise him, all his angels! Praise him, all his army!
3 Msifuni yeye, enyi jua na mwezi; msifuni yeye, nyota zote zing'aazo.
Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
4 Msifuni yeye, enyi mbingu zilizo juu zaidi na maji yaliyo juu ya anga.
Praise him, you heavens of heavens, you waters that are above the heavens.
5 Na vilisifu jina la Yahwe, maana aliamuru, navyo vikaumbwa.
Let them praise Yahweh’s name, for he commanded, and they were created.
6 Pia ameviimrisha milele na milele; naye alitoa amri ambayo haitabadilika.
He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.
7 Msifuni yeye kutoka nchi, ninyi viumbe wa baharini na viumbe vyote katika kina cha bahari,
Praise Yahweh from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths,

9 Msifuni yeye, enyi milima na vilima, miti ya matunda na mierezi yote,

11 Msifuni Yahwe, wafalme wa nchi na mataifa yote, wakuu na watawala wote wa nchi,

13 Na walisifu jina la Yahwe, kwa kuwa jina lake pekee limetukuka na utukufu wake umeongezwa juu ya nchi na mbingu.
Let them praise Yahweh’s name, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
14 Naye ameyainua mapembe ya watu wake kwa ajili ya sifa kutoka kwa waaminifu wake wote, Waisraeli, watu wa karibu naye. Msifuni Yahwe.
He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise Yah!
