Psalms 149

1 Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: let his praise be in the church of the saints.

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

2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: and let the children of Sion be joyful in their king.

UIsrayeli kathokoze ngoMenzi wakhe, abantwana beZiyoni kabathabe eNkosini yabo.

3 Let them praise his name in choir: let them sing to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

Kabadumise ibizo layo ngokusina, kabayihlabelele indumiso ngesigujana lechacho.

4 For the Lord is well pleased with his people: and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.

Ngoba iNkosi iyathokoza ngabantu bayo; izacecisa abamnene ngosindiso.

5 The saints shall rejoice in glory: they shall be joyful in their beds.

Abangcwele kabathokoze ngendumiso, kabahlabelele ngenjabulo emibhedeni yabo.

6 The high praise of God shall be in their mouth: and two-edged swords in their hands:

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

7 To execute vengeance upon the nations, chastisements among the people:

ukuze benze impindiselo phezu kwabahedeni, izijeziso phezu kwezizwe,

8 To bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron.

ukuze babophe amakhosi azo ngamaketane, lezikhulu zazo ngezibopho zensimbi,

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

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