1 Halleluja! Lov Herren fra himmelen, lov ham i det høie!

2 Lov ham, alle hans engler, lov ham, all hans hær!

3 Lov ham, sol og måne, lov ham, alle I lysende stjerner!

4 Lov ham, I himlenes himler og I vann som er ovenover himlene!

5 De skal love Herrens navn; for han bød, og de blev skapt,

6 og han satte dem på deres sted for all tid, for evig; han gav en lov som ingen av dem overskrider.

7 Lov Herren fra jorden, I store sjødyr og alle vanndyp,

8 ild og hagl, sne og damp, stormvind, som setter hans ord i verk,

9 I fjell og alle hauger, frukttrær og alle sedrer,

10 I ville dyr og alt fe, krypdyr og vingede fugler,

11 I jordens konger og alle folk, fyrster og alle jordens dommere,

12 unge menn og jomfruer, gamle sammen med unge!

13 De skal love Herrens navn; for hans navn alene er ophøiet, hans herlighet er over jorden og himmelen,

14 og han har ophøiet et horn for sitt folk til en lovsang for alle sine fromme, for Israels barn, det folk som er ham nær. Halleluja!

1 Give praise to the Lord. Let the Lord be praised from the heavens: give him praise in the skies.

2 Give praise to him, all you his angels: give praise to him, all his armies.

3 Give praise to him, you sun and moon: give praise to him, all you stars of light.

4 Give praise to him, you highest heavens, and you waters which are over the heavens.

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

6 He has put them in their places for ever; he has given them their limits which may not be broken.

7 Give praise to the Lord from the earth, you great sea-beasts, and deep places:

8 Fire and rain of ice, snow and mists; storm-wind, doing his word:

9 Mountains and all hills; fruit-trees and all trees of the mountains:

10 Beasts and all cattle; insects and winged birds:

11 Kings of the earth, and all peoples; rulers and all judges of the earth:

12 Young men and virgins; old men and children:

13 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 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.
