Original text and translations
German text
Lobe den Herren, den mächtigen König der Ehren,
Meine geliebete Seele, das ist mein Begehren.
Kommet zu Hauf,
Psalter und Harfen, wacht auf!
Lasset den Lobgesang hören!

Lodate Dio, schiere beate del cielo
Lodate Dio, genti di tutta la terra
Cantate a Lui che l’universo creò,
Somma sapienza e splendore.
