Dievs pazemotajiem dod žēlastību
1 Slavējiet Kungu!
Slavējiet, Kunga kalpi,
slavējiet Kunga vārdu!
2 Lai Kunga vārds slavēts tagad un mūžīgi!
3 No saules lēkta līdz rietam jāslavē Kunga vārds!
4 Par visām tautām varenāks Kungs,
pār debesīm viņa godība!
5 Kas ir kā Kungs, mūsu Dievs!?
Kas vēl tik augstu sēdies,
6 kas vēl tik tālu saredz –
gan debesīs, gan uz zemes,
7 kas pieceļ no pīšļiem nabago
un no pelniem ceļ sērdieni kājās! –
8 nosēdina pie varenajiem,
pie savas tautas varenajiem! –
9 kas neauglīgo padara
par priecīgu dēlu māti?!
Slavējiet Kungu!
In Praise of the Lord's Goodness
1 Praise the Lord!
You servants of the Lord,
praise his name!
2 May his name be praised,
now and forever.
3 From the east to the west
praise the name of the Lord!
4 The Lord rules over all nations;
his glory is above the heavens.
5 There is no one like the Lord our God.
He lives in the heights above,
6 but he bends down
to see the heavens and the earth.
7 He raises the poor from the dust;
he lifts the needy from their misery
8 and makes them companions of princes,
the princes of his people.
9 He honors the childless wife in her home;
he makes her happy by giving her children.
Praise the Lord!
