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!

Wer trägt der Himmel unzählbare Sterne?
  Wer führt die Sonn aus ihrem Zelt?
Sie kommt und leuchtet und lacht uns von ferne
  Und läuft den Weg gleich als ein Held.

La natura canta la gloria di Dio

(Sung text translation for setting by L. Beethoven)

See original

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)

I cieli cantano la gloria dell'Eterno,
voi echi rinnovatene e moltiplicatene il nome.
Lo esaltano le terre, lo lodano i mari,
ascolta, o creatura, la loro parola divina.

Chi muove le stelle innumerevoli nel cielo?
Chi conduce il sole fuori dalla sua casa?
Esso viene a illuminarci, e ci sorride da lontano,
e percorre la sua via di gloria come un eroe.
