Tikva, we have a similar problem translating this mess because some words were made into Yeshivish (Yiddishized slang of Hebrew & Aramaic) plus the genders were changed. Thus one would have to correct the words back into its correct forms thus repairing its genders.
FWIW, The following Christian link gives some explanation of what is trying to be said:
In the Olam Hanashamos (Gehinnon and Olam Habo), the Chofetz Chaim says the only merits we have to get up during Techias Hamaysim (resurrection of the dead), is our Torah learning. He says a Yid who does mitzvos but never fixes a time to learn Torah, they will enjoy the beauty of Olam Haba, but their body and soul are discarded when techias Hamaysim comes.
We have so many yetzer haras that prevent us from fixing a time to sit and learn Torah. Parnasa calls, our family has needs. The big football game. If only we could see that our life on Earth is only the prelude to "the great big play," we'd learn more Torah.
May we all merit to learn a Daf of Gamara, and then some more and then some more, so that we all may reunite our guf and our neshama in techias hamaysim.
I didn't say "Zeh", I said "Hu" (which is He in Hebrew).
If I said "Hodu L'Hashem Ki Zeh Tov Laasot" it would be "Give thanks to Hashem because it is good to do". "הודו להשם כי זה טוב לעשות"
I didn't start this thread for the purpose of Hebrew grammar lessons. If grammar corrections is all you have to contribute to this thread, please "contribute" elsewhere. This is a thread about the Jewish neshama.

You're thinking Hebrew. The Torah is Aramaic. You cannot use modern Hebrew rules on a language that was written in another language under different rules. Thus the emphasis of ki belongs to "thanks" and not "hashem".

YOU made it unreadable by 99% of the CD community. If you wanted this thread to about Jewish "soul" or "spirit", then you should have made it entirely in English. Thus here we are explaining the Yeshivish written by a midlife Ba'al Tshuva by a person born Frum who's first languages learned were Yiddish & Torah Hebrew. Depending on which country a Frum lives in, the native language to that country is learned as one reaches first grade.

Google translate has this : India Hashem that it is good to do.
let's go back to the OP and use the corrected form of two words: Hodu & L'Hashem. Now if we go into Youtube a search for songs made up of "Hodu L'hashem Ki Tov". Which word is emphasized in nearly every song?.......
It is Hodu. Hodu is stated multiple times and not hashem, thus hodu is the dominant word that the sentence is based on.
