Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

שַׁבְּחִ֣י יְ֭רוּשָׁלִַם אֶת־יְהוָ֑ה הַֽלְלִ֖י אֱלֹהַ֣יִ⁠ךְ צִיּֽוֹן

The psalmist is speaking to the city of Jerusalem, also called Zion, as if it could hear, but he is really addressing the people of that city. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Yahweh, people of Jerusalem; praise your God, people of Zion]
