You righteous people should sing joyfully to Yahweh because that is what he deserves.
2 Werenụ ụbọ akwara too Onyenwe anyị; werenụ une nke nwere akwara iri kpọọrọ ya egwu.
Praise Yahweh as you play songs on the lyre/harp. Praise him as you play [other] instruments that have many strings.
3 Bụkuonụ ya abụ ọhụrụ; were ǹka kpọọ ụbọ akwara ma tiekwa mkpu ọṅụ.
Sing a new song to him; Play those instruments well, and shout joyfully as you play them!

Yahweh always does what he says that he will do; we can trust that everything that he does is right.
5 Onyenwe anyị na-ahụ ezi omume na ikpe ziri ezi nʼanya; ụwa niile jupụtara nʼịhụnanya ya nke na-enweghị ọgwụgwụ.
He loves everything that we do that is just and right. People all over the earth can know that Yahweh faithfully loves us.
6 Ọ bụ site nʼokwu ọnụ Onyenwe anyị ka e ji kee eluigwe niile, jirikwa nkuume nke ọnụ ya mee anwụ, na ọnwa na kpakpando niile.
Yahweh created everything in the sky by commanding it. By what he said [MTY] he created all the stars.
7 Ọ bụ ya kekwara osimiri niile chịkọta ha nʼotu ebe, kpaa oke ebe ha ga-anọ dịka ụlọakụ dị ukwuu.
He gathered all the water into one huge mass like [someone scoops liquid] into a container.
8 Ka ụwa niile tụọ Onyenwe anyị egwu; ka mmadụ niile bi nʼụwa sọpụrụ ya.
Everyone on the earth should revere Yahweh [DOU].
9 Nʼihi na o kwuru okwu, okwu ahụ mezukwara; o nyere iwu, iwu ahụ guzokwara chịm.
When he spoke, the world (was created/started to exist). Everything started to exist as a result of him commanding it.
10 Onyenwe anyị na-emebi atụmatụ mba niile; ọ na-emebi ebumnobi ụmụ mmadụ.
Yahweh frustrates the things that the [pagan] nations decide to do. He prevents them from doing the [evil] things that they plan to do.
11 Atụmatụ Onyenwe anyị na-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, ebumnobi ya ruo ọgbọ niile.
But what Yahweh decides to do will last forever. What he plans to do will never be changed.
12 Mba a gọziri agọzi ka mba ahụ bụ, bụ ndị Chineke bụ Onyenwe anyị ha; bụ ndị ọ họpụtara ka ha bụrụ ihe nketa ya.
Yahweh blesses those nations who choose him to be their God; He is pleased with those whom he has chosen to receive what he has promised.
13 Onyenwe anyị si nʼeluigwe na-ele ndị mmadụ bi nʼụwa anya. Ọ na-ahụzu ụmụ mmadụ niile anya.
Yahweh looks down from heaven and sees all us people;
14 O sitere nʼebe obibi ya na-ele onye ọbụla bi nʼelu ụwa anya.
from where he rules [MTY], he looks down on all the people who live on the earth.
15 Ebe ọ bụ ya kpụrụ obi mmadụ niile nʼotu na otu; ọ na-ahụzu, na-amazukwa ihe niile ha na-eme.
He formed our inner beings, and he sees everything that we do.
16 Ọnụọgụgụ ndị agha eze apụghị ịzọpụta ya; o nweghị onye agha ọbụla na-azọpụta onwe ya, site nʼịdị ukwuu nke ike ya.
It is not because a king has a great army that he is able to win [battles], and it is not because a soldier is very strong that he is able to defeat [his enemy].
17 Ịnyịnya agha ezukwaghị iwetara ndị na-agba ha mmeri nʼagha. Ọ bụ ezie na ịnyịnya dị ike, ma ha apụghị ịzọpụta ndị nwe ha.
It is foolish to trust that because horses are very strong that they will able to win a battle and save their riders.

Do not forget that Yahweh watches over those who revere him, those who confidently expect him to faithfully love them.
19 Ọ ga-anapụta ha site nʼaka ọnwụ. Ọ ga-echebekwa ha ọ bụladị nʼoge ụnwụ.
He saves them [SYN] from dying [before they should die] and preserves them when there is a famine.
20 Anyị ji olileanya eche Onyenwe anyị; ọ bụ ya bụ inyeaka anyị na ọta anyị.
We trust that Yahweh will help us; he protects us like a shield protects a soldier [MET].
21 Obi anyị na-aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼime ya; nʼihi na anyị tụkwasịrị aha nsọ ya obi.
We rejoice because of what he [has done for us]; we trust in him because he [MTY] is holy.
22 O Onyenwe anyị, ka ịhụnanya gị na-adịgidere anyị, dịka olileanya anyị dị na gị.
Yahweh, we pray that you will always faithfully love us while we confidently expect you [to do great things for us].
