English text

Sing joyfully to God our strength; sing loud unto the God of Jacob!

Take the song, bring forth the timbrel, the pleasant harp, and the viol.

Blow the trumpet in the new moon, even in the time appointed, and at our feast day.

For this is a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.

Danish translation

Bryd ud i jubel for Gud, vor styrke, bryd ud i fryderåb for Jakobs Gud!
Istem sangen, lad pauken lyde, den dejlige citer og harpen.
Stød i vædderhornet på nymånedagen og på vor festdag ved fuldmåne.
Det er en lov i Israel, det er et bud fra Jakobs Gud.
