I am not a mormon, but I do speak Hebrew, and don’t believe what you posted [HERE] is accurate.

Presumably, you were talking about, "Praising Satan by chanting Hebrew words in the ceremony whose translation is Marvelous Lucifer."

In fact, Mormons have changed their chant over time from "Pay Ale Ale" to "Pale Hale Hale!" to "Pay Lay Ale." This LDS SOURCE explains that, According to Joseph Smith, the phrase "Pay Hale Hale" is supposed to be from the pure Adamic language and means "Oh God, hear the words of my mouth!"

In his book 1984 The God Makers, Ed Decker explained to some length how the term coincidentally also means oh marvelous Lucifer in Hebrew. The chant was eliminated in 1990, in the opinion of many, in response to Decker's criticism.

The devil/accuser in Hebrew is variously “Satan’el” “Satarie” “Baal Davar” “Mastema,” “mastemah” (literally “hatred”) and similar phrasings.

I just don’t see it. There are legitimate theological beefs to be had without injecting nonsense.
