1 Praise ye the LORD.
Praise ye the LORD from the heavens:
Praise him in the heights.
Haleluya. Msifuni Bwana kutoka mbinguni; Msifuni katika mahali palipo juu.
2 Praise ye him, all his angels:
Praise ye him, all his hosts.
Msifuni, enyi malaika wake wote; Msifuni, majeshi yake yote.
3 Praise ye him, sun and moon:
Praise him, all ye stars of light.
Msifuni, jua na mwezi; Msifuni, nyota zote zenye mwanga.
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens,
And ye waters that be above the heavens.
Msifuni, enyi mbingu za mbingu, Nanyi maji mlioko juu ya mbingu.
5 Let them praise the name of the LORD:
For he commanded, and they were created.
Na vilisifu jina la Bwana, Kwa maana aliamuru, vikaumbwa.
6 He hath also stablished them for ever and ever:
He hath made a decree which shall not pass.
Amevithibitisha hata milele na milele, Ametoa amri wala haitapita.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth,
Ye dragons, and all deeps:
Msifuni Bwana kutoka nchi, Enyi nyangumi na vilindi vyote.
8 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapours;
Stormy wind fulfilling his word:
Moto na mvua ya mawe, theluji na mvuke, Upepo wa dhoruba ulitendao neno lake.
9 Mountains, and all hills;
Fruitful trees, and all cedars:
Milima na vilima vyote, Miti yenye matunda na mierezi yote.
10 Beasts, and all cattle;
Creeping things, and flying fowl:
Hayawani, na wanyama wafugwao, Vitambaavyo, na ndege wenye mbawa.
11 Kings of the earth, and all people;
Princes, and all judges of the earth:
Wafalme wa dunia, na watu wote, Wakuu, na makadhi wote wa dunia.
12 Both young men, and maidens;
Old men, and children:
Vijana waume, na wanawali, Wazee, na watoto;
13 Let them praise the name of the LORD:
For his name alone is excellent;
His glory is above the earth and heaven.
Na walisifu jina la Bwana, Maana jina lake peke yake limetukuka; Adhama yake i juu ya nchi na mbingu.
14 He also exalteth the horn of his people,
The praise of all his saints;
Even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him.
Praise ye the LORD.
Naye amewainulia watu wake pembe, Sifa za watauwa wake wote; Wana wa Israeli, watu walio karibu naye. Haleluya.
