A psalm
1 Sing to Yahweh a new song,
because he has done wonderful things!
By his power [MTY] and his great strength [DOU] he has defeated his enemies.
2 Yahweh has declared to people that he has defeated his enemies;
he has revealed that he has punished his enemies,
and people in all the world have seen that he has done it.
3 Like he promised to us Israeli people [MTY],
he has faithfully loved us and ◄been loyal to/not abandoned► us.
People who live in very remote places in all the earth
have seen that our God has defeated his enemies.
4 All you people [MTY] everywhere should sing joyfully to Yahweh;
praise him while you sing and shout joyfully!
5 Praise Yahweh while you play the lyres/harps,
playing delightful music.
6 Some of you should blow trumpets and other horns,
while others shout joyfully to Yahweh, our king.
7 The oceans and all the creatures that are in the oceans should roar to praise Yahweh.
Everyone on the earth should sing!
8 It should seem as though the rivers are clapping their hands to praise Yahweh
and that the hills are singing together joyfully in front of Yahweh,
9 because he will come to judge everyone on [MTY] the earth!
He will judge all the people-groups in the world justly and fairly [DOU].
