A Hymn of Praise
1 Praise the Lord!
Sing a new song to the Lord;
praise him in the assembly of his faithful people!
2 Be glad, Israel, because of your Creator;
rejoice, people of Zion, because of your king!
3 Praise his name with dancing;
play drums and harps in praise of him.
4 The Lord takes pleasure in his people;
he honors the humble with victory.
5 Let God's people rejoice in their triumph
and sing joyfully all night long.
6 Let them shout aloud as they praise God,
with their sharp swords in their hands
7 to defeat the nations
and to punish the peoples;
8 to bind their kings in chains,
their leaders in chains of iron;
9 to punish the nations as God has commanded.
This is the victory of God's people.
Praise the Lord!
Eimbilofindano lOvaisraeli
1 Halleluya!
Imbileni Omwene eimbilo lipe,
efimano laye meongalo lovayuki.
2 Israel na hafele omushiti waye,
ovana vaSion nava nyakukilwe ohamba yavo.
3 Nava fimaneke unene pombada edina laye nokutanha,
vo ve mu shikile eengoma nouxumbafeta.
4 Osheshi Omwene okwa hokwa oshiwana shaye;
ovalininipiki te va dike exupifo.
5 Ovakoshoki nava tanhe nouladi,
nomomitala davo nava nyakukwe,
6 omahambelelo aKalunga naa kale momakanya avo,
nomikonda da upikwa, da twa momake avo,
7 dokuhanaunifa po ovapaani
nokushunifila oiwana owii,
8 vo va ka mange eehamba davo nomalyenge,
noidale yavo nomapando oivela,
9 vo va wanifilwe, eshi sha shangwa sha tokolwa nale,
sho shi ninge oshifimanekifi shovayuki vaye aveshe.
Halleluya!
