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.
2 Louvem-no todos os seus anjos! Louvem-no todos os seus exércitos celestiais!
3 Louvem-no o Sol, a Lua! Louvem-no todas as brilhantes estrelas!
4 Louvem-no o firmamento, assim como as atmosferas que estão acima da Terra!
6 E tudo passou a existir para sempre, obedecendo a leis que nunca serão alteradas!
8 O fogo e a saraiva, a neve e a bruma, as grandes ventanias que sopram segundo as suas ordens,
9 as altas montanhas e os pequenos outeiros, as árvores, na sua variedade, até as de grande porte,
10 os animais selvagens e os animais domésticos; os que rastejam e os que voam,
11 todos os governantes da Terra, com todos os seus povos, chefes de estado, e responsáveis pelo exercício da justiça entre as populações;
12 moços e moças, velhos e crianças;
13 que todos louvem o poder do nome do Senhor. Pois só ele é digno de ser exaltado acima de tudo o que existe na Terra e nos céus!
14 E também o seu povo, ele o torna grande e forte, objecto de honra de todos os que lhe são fiéis. Esse povo, que vive junto de si, o seu povo de Israel! Louvem o Senhor!
