1 Halleluja! Eg vil prisa Herren av alt mitt hjarta i råd og samling av ærlege.

Let the Lord be praised. I will give praise to the Lord with all my heart, among the upright, and in the meeting of the people.

2 Store er Herrens verk, gjenomtenkte etter alle sine fyremål.

The works of the Lord are great, searched out by all those who have delight in them.

3 Høgd og herlegdom er hans gjerning, og hans rettferd stend æveleg fast.

His work is full of honour and glory; and his righteousness is unchanging for ever.

4 Han hev sett eit minne for sine under, nådig og miskunnsam er Herren.

Certain for ever is the memory of his wonders: the Lord is full of pity and mercy.

5 Mat hev han gjeve deim som ottast honom; han kjem æveleg i hug si pakt.

The works of his hands are faith and righteousness; all his laws are unchanging.

8 fast stend dei æveleg og alltid, dei er gjorde i sanning og rettvisa.

They are fixed for ever and ever, they are done in faith and righteousness.

9 Han hev sendt sitt folk utløysing, han hev skipa si pakt æveleg, hans namn er heilagt og skræmelegt.

He has sent salvation to his people; he has given his word for ever: holy is his name and greatly to be feared.
