Der HERR ist König; des freue sich das Erdreich und seien fröhlich die Inseln, soviel ihrer sind.

L'Eternel règne: que la terre soit dans l'allégresse, Que les îles nombreuses se réjouissent!
IL Signore regna: gioisca la terra; Rallegrinsi le grandi isole.
O SENHOR reina; regozije-se a terra; alegrem-se as muitas ilhas.
耶和華作王!願地快樂! 願眾海島歡喜!
