Es freue sich der Himmel, und die Erde sei Fröhlich; und man sage unter den Heiden, daß der HERR regieret.
Alégrense los cielos, y gócese la tierra, Y digan en las naciones: Reina Jehová.
Alégrense los cielos y regocíjese la tierra; digan entre las naciones: «¡Jehová reina!».
Que les cieux se réjouissent, et que la terre soit dans l'allégresse! Que l'on dise parmi les nations: L'Eternel règne!
Rallegrinsi i cieli, e festeggi la terra, E dicasi fra le genti: Il Signore regna.
Alegrem-se os céus, e regozije-se a terra; e diga-se entre as nações: O SENHOR reina.
願天歡喜,願地快樂! 願人在列國中說: 「耶和華作王了!」
