Psalms 149
1 Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song: his praise is in the assembly of the saints.
Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. Waiatatia ki a Ihowa he waiata hou, me te whakamoemiti ki a ia i te whakaminenga o te hunga tapu.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; and let the children of Sion exult in their king.
Kia hari a Iharaira ki tona kaihanga: kia koa nga tama a Hiona ki to ratou Kingi.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sings praises to him with timbrel and lute.
Kia whakamoemiti ratou ki tona ingoa me te kanikani ano: kia himene ratou ki a ia i runga i te timipera, i te hapa.
4 For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; and will exalt the meek with salvation.
E manako ana hoki a Ihowa ki tana iwi: mana e whakaataahua te hunga mahaki ki te whakaoranga.
5 The saints shall rejoice in glory; and shall exult on their beds.
Kia koa te hunga tapu i runga i te kororia: kia hamama ratou i te hari i runga i o ratou moenga.
6 The high praises of God shall be in their throat, and two-edged swords in their hands;
Kia whai whakamoemiti o ratou mangai ki te Atua, kia whai hoari matarua to ratou ringa;
7 to execute vengeance on the nations, [and] punishments amongst the peoples;
Hei rapu utu i nga tauiwi, hei whiu i nga iwi;
8 to bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron; to execute on them the judgement written: this honour have all his saints.
Hei herehere i o ratou kingi ki te makameka, i o ratou tangata nunui ki nga here rino;
Hei whakaputa ki a ratou i te whakaritenga kua oti te tuhituhi: No tona hunga tapu katoa tenei honore. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa.
