Die Wasserströme frohlocken, und alle Berge seien fröhlich
Los ríos batan las manos; Los montes todos hagan regocijo,
Que los ríos aplaudan y las montañas canten juntas de alegría
Que les fleuves battent des mains, Que toutes les montagnes poussent des cris de joie,
Battansi i fiumi a palme; Cantino d’allegrezza tutti i monti.
Os rios batam as palmas; regozijem-se também as montanhas,
願大水拍掌, 願諸山在耶和華面前一同歡呼;
