1Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh from the heavens! Praise him in the heights!
1Halleluja! Pris Herren i himlen, pris ham i det høje!
2Praise him, all his angels! Praise him, all his army!
2Pris ham, alle hans engle, pris ham, alle hans hærskarer,
3Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
3pris ham, sol og måne, pris ham, hver lysende stjerne,
4Praise him, you heavens of heavens, You waters that are above the heavens.
4pris ham, himlenes himle og vandene over himlene!
5Let them praise the name of Yahweh, For he commanded, and they were created.
5De skal prise Herrens navn, thi han bød, og de blev skabt;
6He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.
6han gav dem deres plads for evigt, han gav en lov, som de ej overtræder!
7Praise Yahweh from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths!
7Lad pris stige op til Herren fra jorden, I havdyr og alle dyb,
8Lightning and hail, snow and clouds; stormy wind, fulfilling his word;
8Ild og hagl, sne og røg, storm, som gør hvad han siger,
9mountains and all hills; fruit trees and all cedars;
9I bjerge og alle høje, frugttræer og alle cedre,
10wild animals and all livestock; small creatures and flying birds;
10I vilde dyr og alt kvæg, krybdyr og vingede fugle,
11kings of the earth and all peoples; princes and all judges of the earth;
11I jordens konger og alle folkeslag, fyrster og alle jordens dommere,
12both young men and maidens; old men and children:
12ynglinge sammen med jomfruer, gamle sammen med unge!
13let them praise the name of Yahweh, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
13De skal prise Herrens navn, thi ophøjet er hans navn alene, hans højhed omspender jord og himmel.
14He 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!
14Han løfter et horn for sit folk, lovprist af alle sine fromme, af Israels børn, det folk, der står ham nær. Halleluja!
