< Psalms 149 >
1 Praise the Lord! Sing a new song to the Lord! Praise him wherever his faithful followers gather!
Rumbidzai Jehovha. Imbirai Jehovha rwiyo rutsva, rumbidzo yake paungano yavatsvene.
2 Let Israel celebrate their Creator; let the people of Zion be happy in their King.
Israeri ngavafarire Muiti wavo; vanhu veZioni ngavafarire Mambo wavo.
3 Praise his nature with dancing; sing praises to him, accompanied by tambourine and harp.
Ngavarumbidze zita rake vachitamba, uye vamuridzire nziyo namatambureni nembira.
4 For the Lord enjoys his people; he honors the oppressed with salvation.
Nokuti Jehovha anofarira vanhu vake; vanozvininipisa anovashongedza korona noruponeso.
5 Let the faithful celebrate how he honors them; let them sing happily even from their beds.
Vatsvene ngavafare nokukudzwa kwake, uye vaimbe nomufaro vari pamibhedha yavo.
6 May their praises of God always be on their lips, a double-edged sword in their hands,
Kurumbidzwa kwaMwari ngakuve pamiromo yavo, nomunondo unocheka kwose, mumaoko avo,
7 ready to take revenge on the nations, to punish the foreign peoples,
kuti vatsive pamusoro pendudzi, uye varange marudzi avanhu,
8 to imprison their kings in shackles and their leaders in iron chains,
vasunge madzimambo avo nengetani, namakurukota avo nezvisungo zvamatare,
9 to impose the judgment decreed against them. This is an honor for all his faithful followers. Praise the Lord!
kuti vaite zvavakatongwa nazvo, zvakanyorwa pamusoro pavo. Ndiko kukudzwa kwavatsvene vose. Rumbidzai Jehovha.
