Die Himmel rühmen des Ewigen Ehre;
Ihr Schall pflanzt seinen Namen fort.
Ihn rühmt der Erdkreis, ihn preisen die Meere;
Vernimm, o Mensch, ihr göttlich Wort!
...
Kannst du der Wesen unzählbare Heere,
Den kleinsten Staub fühllos beschaun?
Durch wen ist alles? O gib ihm die Ehre!
Mir, ruft der Herr, sollst du vertraun.
Mein ist die Kraft, mein ist Himmel und Erde;
An meinen Werken kennst du mich.
Ich bin's, und werde sein, der ich sein werde,
Dein Gott und Vater ewiglich.
Ich bin dein Schöpfer, bin Weisheit und Güte,
Ein Gott der Ordnung und dein Heil;
Ich bin's! Mich liebe von ganzem Gemüte,
Und nimm an meiner Gnade Teil.

Els cels lloen l’honor de l’Etern,
l’eco proclama el seu nom enfora.
La terra l’elogia, els mars el lloen;
escolta, oh humà, la seva divina paraula!
