Praise Adonai! Sing to Adonai a new song, his tehilah ·praise song· in the assembly of the saints.

Let Israel [God prevails] rejoice in him who made them. Let the children of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking] be joyful in their King.
3 Wonekafu eƒe ŋkɔ kple ɣeɖuɖu, eye woneƒo ha nɛ kple asiʋuiwo kple kasaŋku.
Let them praise his name in the dance! Let them sing zahmar ·musical praise· to him with tambourine and harp!
4 Elabena Yehowa do dzidzɔ ɖe eƒe dukɔ ŋu, eye wòtsɔ ɖeɖe ɖɔ na ame gblɔewo.
For Adonai takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with yishu'ah ·salvation·.
5 Ame kɔkɔewo nekpɔ dzidzɔ le eƒe bubu me, eye woadzi ha kple dzidzɔ le woƒe abawo dzi.
Let the saints rejoice in kavod ·weighty glory·. Let them sing for joy on their beds.
6 Mawu kafukafu nenɔ woƒe nu me, eye wòanye yi nuevee anɔ woƒe asiwo me,
May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand;
7 ne woatsɔ abia hlɔ̃ dukɔwo, eye woatsɔe ahe toe na amewo,
To execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;
8 ne woabla woƒe fiawo kple gakɔsɔkɔsɔ, eye woade kunyowu woƒe bubumewo,
To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9 ne woawɔ fɔ si wobu wo, woŋlɔ da ɖi ɖe wo ŋu la dzi. Esia nye eƒe ame kɔkɔewo katã ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe. Mikafu Yehowa.
