1Halleluja, preist Jahwe!
Lobt Jahwe vom Himmel her, / lobt ihn dort in den Höhen!2Lobt ihn, alle seine Engel! / Lobe ihn, du himmlisches Heer!3Lobt ihn, Sonne und Mond! / Lobt ihn, ihr leuchtenden Sterne!4Lobt ihn, all ihr Himmel / und du Wasser da oben am Firmament!5Sie alle sollen loben den Namen Jahwes, / denn sie alle entstanden durch seinen Befehl.6Er stellte sie hin für ewige Zeit, / gab ihnen ein Gesetz, das keiner je bricht.7Lobt Jahwe auch von der Erde her, / ihr Meeresriesen und gewaltige Tiefen,8Feuer, Hagel, Nebel und Schnee; / du Sturmwind, der sein Wort ausführt;9ihr Berge und Hügel, / Fruchtbäume und Zedern,10ihr wilden Tiere und ihr Weidevieh, / ihr Vögel und alles Gewürm;11ihr Könige der Erde und ihr Völker alle, / ihr Oberen und ihr Richter der Welt;12ihr jungen Männer und Frauen, / ihr Alten mit den Jungen!13Loben sollen sie den Namen Jahwes! / Denn nur sein Name ist immer erhöht, / seine Hoheit weit über Erde und Himmel hinaus.14Er hat seinem Volk einen Starken[1] geschenkt, / zum Loblied für all seine Treuen, / für die Nachkommen Israels, das Volk, das ihm so nahesteht.
Halleluja, preist Jahwe!

Praise him, all you shining stars.4Praise him, you highest heavens. Praise him, you waters above the skies.5Let all of them praise the name of the LORD, because at his command they were created.6He established them for ever and ever. He gave them laws they will always have to obey.7Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures and all the deepest parts of the ocean.8Praise him, lightning and hail, snow and clouds. Praise him, you stormy winds that obey him.9Praise him, all you mountains and hills. Praise him, all you fruit trees and cedar trees.10Praise him, all you wild animals and cattle. Praise him, you small creatures and flying birds.11Praise him, you kings of the earth and all nations. Praise him, all you princes and rulers on earth.12Praise him, young men and women. Praise him, old men and children.13Let them praise the name of the LORD. His name alone is honoured. His glory is higher than the earth and the heavens.14He has given his people a strong king. All his faithful people praise him for that gift. All the people of Israel are close to his heart. Praise the LORD.
