Psalms 149

1 Praise the Lord! Sing a new song to the Lord! Praise him wherever his faithful followers gather!

Treño t’Ià. Takasio sabo vao t’Iehovà, ty enge’e ami’ty fivori’ o noro’eo.

2 Let Israel celebrate their Creator; let the people of Zion be happy in their King.

Hifalea’ Israele i Mpañoreñ’ azey; hirebeha’ o ana’ i Tsiôneo ty Mpanjaka’ iareo.

3 Praise his nature with dancing; sing praises to him, accompanied by tambourine and harp.

Hibango i tahina’ey an-tsinjake, ho saboe’ iereo am-pititihañe marovany naho kantsàñe.

4 For the Lord enjoys his people; he honors the oppressed with salvation.

Fa mahafale Iehovà ondati’eo; hampihamine’e fandrombahañe o mirèkeo.

5 Let the faithful celebrate how he honors them; let them sing happily even from their beds.

Hampipoña-pandrengeañe o noro’eo, hisabo an-kaehak’ an-tihi’iareo eo.

6 May their praises of God always be on their lips, a double-edged sword in their hands,

Ho am-palie’ iareo ty fañonjonañe an’ Andrianañahare, vaho am-pità’ iareo ty fibara sambe-lela’e,

7 ready to take revenge on the nations, to punish the foreign peoples,

hamale fate amo fifeheañeo, naho handilo ondatio,

8 to imprison their kings in shackles and their leaders in iron chains,

handrohy o mpanjaka’ iareoo an-tsilisily, o roandria’iareoo an-dangoke viñe,

9 to impose the judgment decreed against them. This is an honor for all his faithful followers. Praise the Lord!

hametsahañe am’ iereo i zaka pinatetsey; ho fandrengeañe ze hene noro’e. Treño t’Ià.
