Psalms 149

1 Hallelujah! Sing unto Jehovah a new song; [sing] his praise in the congregation of the godly.

Dumisani iNkosi! HIabelelani iNkosi ingoma entsha, indumiso yayo ebandleni labangcwele.

2 Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.

UIsrayeli kathokoze ngoMenzi wakhe, abantwana beZiyoni kabathabe eNkosini yabo.

3 Let them praise his name in the dance; let them sing psalms unto him with the tambour and harp.

Kabadumise ibizo layo ngokusina, kabayihlabelele indumiso ngesigujana lechacho.

4 For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people; he beautifieth the meek with salvation.

Ngoba iNkosi iyathokoza ngabantu bayo; izacecisa abamnene ngosindiso.

5 Let the godly exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.

Abangcwele kabathokoze ngendumiso, kabahlabelele ngenjabulo emibhedeni yabo.

6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand:

Indumiso zikaNkulunkulu zisemphinjeni wabo, lenkemba esika nhlangothi mbili esandleni sabo,

7 To execute vengeance against the nations, [and] punishment among the peoples;

ukuze benze impindiselo phezu kwabahedeni, izijeziso phezu kwezizwe,

8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

ukuze babophe amakhosi azo ngamaketane, lezikhulu zazo ngezibopho zensimbi,

9 To execute upon them the judgment written. This honour have all his saints. Hallelujah!

ukuze benze isahlulelo esibhaliweyo phezu kwazo. Loludumo abangcwele bayo bonke balalo. Dumisani iNkosi!
