ACTS: glory glory lord

I always enjoy singing this when it’s included in the line-up of songs during CFC gatherings. The Refrain of this song being sung in different languages/dialects makes us feel that we’re all children of God, praising Him in one voice.
If you have your own language’s version of the Refrain, could you please share it with me? I’d love to add it to the lyrics.

-Refrain-
Glory, glory Lord! We give you glory Lord!
Glory, glory Lord! You are a mighty God!
Glory, glory Lord! We give you glory Lord!
Glory, glory Lord! You are a mighty God!
You are a mighty God!

-Verse 1-
You who go down to the sea
You who live in the islands
If you live in the city, oh
Lift your voices sing out! (sing out!)

-Verse 2-
Sing to the Lord a new song
Sing His praise to the ends of the earth
Let every nation tell it (declare it!)
Till every man has heard (sing out!)

-Refrain in English-
Glory, glory Lord! We give you glory Lord!
Glory, glory Lord! You are a mighty God!

-Refrain in Hawaiian-
Nani, nani Iehova! Nouka nani Lehova!
Nani, nani Iehova! Ke akua mana loa!

-Refrain in Samoan- {"t" is pronounced as "ch"}
Vi-i-a, vi-i-a le 'tua! Matou te viia oe le 'tua!
Vi-i-a, vi-i-a le 'tua! Otea atua matautia!

-Refrain in Cebuano-
Himaya, himaya sa Diyos! Hatag himaya sa Diyos!
Himaya, himaya sa Diyos! Ikaw ang among Ginoo!

-Refrain in Tagalog-
Papuri, papuri sa Diyos! Bigyang papuri ang Diyos!
Papuri, papuri sa Diyos! Ikaw ang aming Panginoon!
