3. Formal Translation You multiplied the nation and increased the joy; they rejoiced before You {Yahweh, Source of Joy} as at the harvest, as when they exult in dividing the spoil. |
3. Dynamic Translation You {Yahweh, Giver of Celebration} made the nation grow and made their joy greater; the people celebrated before You like those who rejoice when they bring in the grain, like warriors shouting when sharing the plunder. |
