Psalms 149

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

Aleluja! Pojte Gospodu pesem novo; hvalo njegovo v zboru njih, katere sprejema prijazno.

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

Veséli se Izrael v njem, ki ga je ustvaril; sinovi Sijonski naj se radujejo v kralji svojem.

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

Hvalijo naj ime njegovo s piščaljo; z bobnom in strunami naj mu prepevajo.

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

Ker milosten je Gospod z ljudstvom svojim; krotke diči z blaginjo.

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

Radujejo se naj v slavi prijazno sprejeti; pojó naj na ležiščih svojih,

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

Hvalo povišujočo Boga mogočnega v grlu svojem, in meč dvorezni v roki svoji.

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

Da se mašujejo nad narodi, ljudstva pokoré.

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

Da zvežejo z verigami njih kralje; in njih plemenitnike z vezmi železnimi.

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

Da nad njimi spolnijo pisano pravico; kar je čast vsem onim, katere sprejema prijazno. Aleluja!
