Psalms 149

1 Let the Lord be praised. Make a new song to the Lord, let his praise be in the meeting of his saints.

Mou fakamālō kia Sihova. Hiva kia Sihova ʻaki ʻae hiva foʻou, mo e fakamālō kiate ia ʻi he fakataha ʻoe kakai māʻoniʻoni.

2 Let Israel have joy in his maker; let the children of Zion be glad in their King.

Ke fiefia ʻa ʻIsileli ʻiate ia naʻa ne ngaohi ia: ke fiefia ʻae fānau ʻa Saione ʻi honau Tuʻi.

3 Let them give praise to his name in the dance: let them make melody to him with instruments of brass and corded instruments of music.

Kenau fakamālō ki hono huafa ʻi he meʻe: kenau hiva fakamālō kiate ia ʻaki ʻae lali iiki mo e haʻape.

4 For the Lord has pleasure in his people: he gives the poor in spirit a crown of salvation.

He ʻoku fiefia ʻa Sihova ʻi hono kakai te ne teuteu ʻae angamalū ʻaki ʻae fakamoʻui.

5 Let the saints have joy and glory: let them give cries of joy on their beds.

Ke fiefia ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni ʻi he nāunau: kenau hiva kalanga, ʻi honau ngaahi mohenga.

6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hands;

Ke ʻi honau ngutu ʻae fakamālō lahi ki he ʻOtua, pea ʻi honau nima ʻae heletā ʻoku fakatoumata;

7 To give the nations the reward of their sins, and the peoples their punishment;

Ke ʻatu ʻae totongi ki he hiteni, mo e ngaahi tautea ki he kakai:

8 To put their kings in chains, and their rulers in bands of iron;

Ke haʻisia honau ngaahi tuʻi ʻaki ʻae ukamea fihifihi, mo honau houʻeiki ʻaki ʻae ngaahi haʻi ukamea;

9 To give them the punishment which is in the holy writings: this honour is given to all his saints. Praise be to the Lord.

Ke fai kiate kinautolu ʻae fakamaau kuo tohi: kuo pehē ʻae hakeakiʻi ʻo ʻene kakai māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova.
