German translation

Singet ein neues Lied, lobet den Herren und preiset unsern Gott alle Völker.
Preiset unsern Gott! Ehre sei seinem hochheiligen Namen! An allen Enden tut kund seine Gnade, seine große Güte!
Erzählt und preiset seine Ehre unter den Heiden, und unter den Völkern rühmt seine heiligen Wunder!

Another German translation, closer to the Latin text
Translation by Martin Schubert

Singt dem Herrn ein neues Lied, singt dem Herrn alle Welt!
Singt dem Herrn und lobt seinen Namen, verkündet von Tag zu Tag sein Heil!
Verkündet den Menschen seinen Ruhm, allen Völkern seine Wunder!
