Come, sing to Yahweh; sing joyfully to the one who protects us [MET] and saves us!

We should thank him as we come before him, and sing (joyful songs/joyfully) as we praise him.
3 Angraeng loe lensawk Sithaw ah oh moe, sithawnawk boih nuiah Kalen koek Siangpahrang ah oh.
Because Yahweh is the great God, he is a great king [who rules] over all [other] gods.
4 Kathuk long ahmuennawk loe anih ban ah oh; mae sangnawk doeh anih ih ni.
He rules over the whole earth, from the deepest places/caves to the highest mountains.
5 Anih mah tuipuinawk to sak pongah, angmah ih hmuen ah oh; saoeng doeh a ban hoiah ni sak.
The seas are his, because he made them. He is [also] the one who [SYN] formed/made the dry land.

We should come, worship, and bow down before him. We should kneel before Yahweh, the one who made us.

He is our God, and we are the people whom he takes care of [MET]; like sheep [that a shepherd] takes care of. Today, listen to what Yahweh is saying to you.
8 palungphui han tavet o nathuem ih baktih, praezaek ah raihaih tong naah tanoek ih baktiah, palung thah o sak hmah,
He says, “Do not become stubborn [IDM] like [your ancestors] did at Meribah, and like [they did] at Massah in the desert.
9 nam panawk mah kai ang tanoek o naah, ka sak ih hmuen to nihcae mah hnuk o, toe nihcae mah kai ang tanoek o.
There your ancestors (wanted to see/tried to determine) if they could do many very evil things [without my punishing them]. Even though they had seen me perform [many] miracles, they tested whether I [would continue to be patient with them].
10 Saning qui palito thung nihcae nuiah palung ka phui, Hae kaminawk loe poek amro kami, ka caehhaih loklam panoek ai kami ah oh o, tiah ka thuih.
For 40 years I was angry with those people, and I said, ‘Those people say that they want to please me, but they do things that I detest. They refuse to obey my commands.’
11 To pongah palung ka phuihaih hoiah nihcae khaeah, Nangcae loe kang hakhaih ahmuen thungah na kun o thai mak ai, tiah lok ka thuih.
So because I was very angry, I solemnly said/declared about them: ‘They will never enter [the land of Canaan] where I would have allowed them to rest!’”
