Psalms 149

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

Hvalite Gospoda. Zapojte Gospodu novo pesem in njegovo hvalo v skupnosti svetih.

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

Naj se Izrael veseli v njem, ki ga je naredil, naj bodo sionski otroci radostni v svojem Kralju.

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

Naj s plesom hvalijo njegovo ime; naj mu prepevajo hvalnice s tamburinom in harfo.

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

Kajti Gospod se veseli v svojem ljudstvu; krotke bo okrasil z rešitvijo duše.

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

Naj bodo sveti radostni v slavi, naj na glas prepevajo na svojih posteljah.

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

Naj bodo na njihovih ustih visoke Božje hvalnice in v njihovi roki dvorezen meč,

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

da izvršijo maščevanje nad pogani in kaznovanja nad ljudstvi,

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

da njihove kralje zvežejo z verigami in njihove plemiče z železnimi okovi,

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

da nad njimi izvršijo napisano sodbo. To čast imajo vsi sveti. Hvalite Gospoda.
