1 歌 新しき歌を主にむかってうたえ。主はくすしきみわざをなされたからである。その右の手と聖なる腕とは、おのれのために勝利を得られた。

Like he promised to us Israeli people [MTY], he has faithfully loved us and (been loyal to/not abandoned) us. [People who live] in very remote places in all the earth have seen that our God has defeated [his enemies].

4 全地よ、主にむかって喜ばしき声をあげよ。声を放って喜び歌え、ほめうたえ。

All you [people] [MTY] everywhere should sing joyfully to Yahweh; praise him while you sing and shout joyfully!

because he will come to judge [everyone on] [MTY] the earth! He will judge [all] the people-groups [in the world] justly and fairly [DOU].
