Praising Him are the seven heavens, and the earth, and everyone in them. There is not a thing that does not glorify Him with praise, but you do not understand their praises. He is indeed Forbearing and Forgiving
Translation · Talal Itani (2012)CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
The seven heavens and the earth and all that is therein praise Him, and there is not a thing but hymneth His praise; but ye understand not their praise. Lo! He is ever Clement, Forgiving
Translation · Marmaduke Pickthall (1930)Public Domain
The seven heavens praise him, and the earth, and all who are therein; neither is there aught which doth not celebrate his praise; but their utterances of praise ye understand not. He is kind, indulgent
Translation · John Medows Rodwell (1861)Public Domain
The seven heavens and the earth celebrate His praises, and all who therein are; nor is there aught, but what celebrates His praise: but ye cannot understand their celebration;- verily, He is clement and forgiving
