Let them give praise to the name of the Lord: for he gave the order, and they were made.

Give praise to the Lord from the earth, you great sea-beasts, and deep places:
8 anyinam ne mparuwbo, sukyerɛmma ne omununkum, ahum a moyɛ nʼapɛde,
Fire and rain of ice, snow and mists; storm-wind, doing his word:
9 mo mmepɔw ne nkoko nyinaa, nnua a ɛsow aba ne sida nyinaa,
Mountains and all hills; fruit-trees and all trees of the mountains:
10 nwura mu mmoa ne anantwi, abɔde nketewa ne nnomaa a wotu,
Beasts and all cattle; insects and winged birds:
11 asase ne amanaman nyinaa so ahemfo, mo mmapɔmma ne asase sodifo nyinaa,
Kings of the earth, and all peoples; rulers and all judges of the earth:
12 mmerante ne mmabaa, mmasiriwa ne mmofra nso.
Young men and virgins; old men and children:
13 Ma wɔnkamfo Awurade din, na ne din so sen din biara; nʼanuonyam korɔn wɔ asase ne ɔsoro so.
Let them give glory to the name of the Lord: for his name only is to be praised: his kingdom is over the earth and the heaven.
14 Wapagyaw mmɛn bi ama ne nkurɔfo, nʼahotewfo nyinaa nkamfo; Israelfo, nnipa a wɔda ne koma so no nkamfo. Monkamfo Awurade.
He has put on high the horn of his people, for the praise of all his saints; even the children of Israel, a people which is near to him. Let the Lord be praised.
