١ 1 هَلِّلُويَا. غَنُّوا لِلرَّبِّ تَرْنِيمَةً جَدِيدَةً، تَسْبِيحَتَهُ فِي جَمَاعَةِ ٱلْأَتْقِيَاءِ.

Praise Yahweh! Sing a new song to Yahweh, praise him whenever [his] faithful [people] gather together!

٢ 2 لِيَفْرَحْ إِسْرَائِيلُ بِخَالِقِهِ. لِيَبْتَهِجْ بَنُو صِهْيَوْنَ بِمَلِكِهِمْ.

[You] Israeli people, be glad because of [what God], who created you, [has done for you]! You people of Jerusalem, rejoice because of [what God] your king [has done for you]!

Praise Yahweh by dancing, by beating/playing tambourines, and by playing harps to praise him!

٤ 4 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ رَاضٍ عَنْ شَعْبِهِ. يُجَمِّلُ ٱلْوُدَعَاءَ بِٱلْخَلَاصِ.

Yahweh is pleased with his people; he honors humble [people] by helping them to defeat [their enemies].

God’s people should rejoice because they have won battles and they should sing joyfully all during the night!

They [MTY] should shout loudly to praise God; but [they should also hold] sharp swords in their hands,

[ready to use them] to defeat the [soldiers of] nations [that do not worship God], and to punish the people [of those nations],

and to fasten the arms and legs of their kings and other leaders with iron chains,

٩ 9 لِيُجْرُوا بِهِمْ ٱلْحُكْمَ ٱلْمَكْتُوبَ. كَرَامَةٌ هَذَا لِجَمِيعِ أَتْقِيَائِهِ. هَلِّلُويَا.

to judge [and punish] the people of those nations, like [God] wrote/declared [should be done]. It is (a privilege/an honor) for God’s faithful people to do that! Praise Yahweh!
