9:11 The psalm writers often connect the idea that God reigns (or sits, or is enthroned) with a place, such as heaven (2:4; see 47:9), Jerusalem, “between the cherubim” (80:1; 99:1), “on high” (113:5), or “at my right hand” (110:1). Since the Lord rules the world, all people must know of his unforgettable deeds of salvation (see 9:1; 64:9; 66:16; 105:1).
Praise Psalms
The Hebrew title of the book of Psalms means “Praises,” and that title accurately defines a large number of the psalms. God is praised throughout the psalms for his nature and for his great acts in creation and history. Praise psalms were written for individual use and for the community.
Individual praise (Pss 9; 18; 32; 34; 116; 138). It was customary in Temple worship for people to give verbal thanks in front of the whole assembly whenever they made a vow offering or a thank offering (see, e.g., 22:22-26; 66:13-20; 116:17-19). Such opportunities for personal praise and testimony must have added warmth and significance to worship. Each act of rescue and every experience of God’s mercy became part of the cumulative, ongoing story of salvation. Worship was not simply a recital of God’s deeds in earlier centuries.
Communal praise (Pss 103, 113, 124, 129, 136). When the community gathered, they praised the Lord in song for his acts in history (Ps 103) or for a specific recent manifestation of his mercy (Pss 124, 129). In Psalm 103, the psalmist praises God for his mercy to each individual (103:1-5) and to the whole community (103:6-14). The frailty of humanity contrasts with God’s constancy (103:15-18); his universal and absolute rule merits universal praise (103:19-22).

יֹשֵׁ֣ב
(Some words not found in UHB: and,trust in=you(ms) know your(ms)=name that/for/because/then/when not forsaken seek,you YHWH )
Here, being the sitter represents sitting on the throne as king. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the crown wearer” or “the king” or “the ruler”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
זַמְּר֗וּ לַ֭יהוָה & עֲלִֽילוֹתָֽיו
(Some words not found in UHB: and,trust in=you(ms) know your(ms)=name that/for/because/then/when not forsaken seek,you YHWH )
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of praises and deeds, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: “Praise Yahweh with a song … what he has done” or “Sing to praise Yahweh … the things he does”
