They should say to God, “The things that you do are awesome! You are very powerful, with the result that your enemies (cringe/bow down) in front of you.”

By his great power he rules forever, and he keeps watching all the nations [to see what things they do], [so] those nations that want to rebel [against him] should not be proud.

10 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati nu qorteertaatii; akkuma meetiis nu qulqulleessiteerta.
God, you have tested us; you have allowed us to experience great difficulties [to make our lives become pure] as [people] put precious metals in a hot fire [to burn out what is impure] [MET].
11 Ati kiyyootti nu galchiteerta; dugda keenya irras baʼaa keesseerta.
[It is as if] you allowed us to fall into traps [MET], and you [forced us to endure difficult things which were like] putting heavy loads on our backs [MET].

You allowed [our] enemies to trample on us; we [experienced difficulties/troubles that were like] [MET] walking through fires and floods, but now you have brought us into a place where we have plenty.
13 Anis qalma gubamu qabadhee mana qulqullummaa kee nan seena; wareega koos siif nan galcha;
[Yahweh], I will bring to your temple offerings that are to be completely burned [on the altar]; I will offer to you what I promised.

I will bring sheep to be burned on the altar, and I will [also] sacrifice bulls and goats, and when they are burning, [you will be pleased when] the smoke [rises up] ([to you/to the sky]).

All you [people] who revere God, come and listen, and I will tell you what he has done for me.

18 Utuu ani garaa koo keessa cubbuu kaaʼadhee jiraadhee, silaa Gooftaan naaf hin dhagaʼu ture;
If I had ignored the sins that I had committed, the Lord would not have paid any attention to me.
19 Waaqni garuu dhugumaan na dhaggeeffateera; sagalee kadhannaa kootiis dhagaʼeera.
But because [I confessed my sins], God has listened to me and he paid attention to my prayers.
20 Waaqni kadhannaa koo hin didin yookaan jaalala isaa na hin dhowwatin haa eebbifamu!
