1 Halleluja! Loof die HERE uit die hemele; loof Hom in die hoogtes!
2 Loof Hom, al sy engele, loof Hom, al sy leërskare!
3 Loof Hom, son en maan, loof Hom, alle ligtende sterre!
4 Loof Hom, hoogste hemele en waters wat bo die hemele is!
5 Laat hulle die Naam van die HERE loof; want Hy het bevel gegee -- en hulle is geskape.
6 En Hy het hulle in stand gehou vir altyd, vir ewig; Hy het 'n wet gegee wat geeneen oortree nie.
7 Loof die HERE van die aarde af -- groot seediere en alle dieptes!
8 Vuur en hael, sneeu en damp, stormwind wat sy woord volbring;
9 berge en alle heuwels, vrugtebome en alle sederbome,
10 wilde diere en alle vee, kruipende diere en gevleuelde voëls;
11 konings van die aarde en alle volke, vorste en alle regters van die aarde;
12 jongelinge en ook jongedogters, oues saam met die jonges --
13 laat hulle die Naam van die HERE loof! Want sy Naam alleen is hoog; sy majesteit is oor aarde en hemel!
14 En Hy het 'n horing vir sy volk verhef: 'n roem vir al sy gunsgenote; vir die kinders van Israel, die volk wat naby Hom is. 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.
