Psalms 149

1 Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: let his praise be in the church 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 be joyful 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 choir: let them sing to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

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 is well pleased with his people: and he will exalt the meek unto 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: they shall be joyful in 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 praise of God shall be in their mouth: 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 upon the nations, chastisements among the people:

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.

Hei herehere i o ratou kingi ki te makameka, i o ratou tangata nunui ki nga here rino;

9 To execute upon them the judgment that is written: this glory is to all his saints. Alleluia.

Hei whakaputa ki a ratou i te whakaritenga kua oti te tuhituhi: No tona hunga tapu katoa tenei honore. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa.
