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!
Ondjimbo yehambelelo
1 Halleluja! Hambeleleni Omuwa!
Imbileni Omuwa eimbilo epe;
imbeni ehambelelo megongalo lyaantu ye.
2 Aaisraeli, nyanyukilweni omushiti gweni.
Nane yomuSion, omukwaniilwa gweni
3 Tangeni edhina lye nokuligola
ne mu mu hikile oontunda nuuhumba.
4 Omuwa okwa hokwa aantu ye
aayifupipiki ote ya pe esindano.
5 Aantu ye naa nyanyukwe, sho ya simanekwa;
naa imbe nokutanta uusiku auhe.
6 Naa imbile Kalunga nomakana gawo,
manga miikaha yawo mu na omagonga goongenge mbali ga tsa,
7 okushunithila iigwana uukolokoshi wayo
noku yi geela;
8 okumanga aakwaniilwa yayo nomalyenge
nokutula aaleli yayo moomango;
9 okugeela iigwana, ngaashi Kalunga e shi utha.
Shika osho esimano lyaantu ye ayehe.
Halleluja!
