< Psalms 149 >
1 Praise ye the Lord. Sing ye vnto the Lord a newe song: let his prayse be heard in the Congregation of Saints.
Dumisani iNkosi! HIabelelani iNkosi ingoma entsha, indumiso yayo ebandleni labangcwele.
2 Let Israel reioyce in him that made him, and let ye children of Zion reioyce in their King.
UIsrayeli kathokoze ngoMenzi wakhe, abantwana beZiyoni kabathabe eNkosini yabo.
3 Let them prayse his Name with the flute: let them sing prayses vnto him with the timbrell and harpe.
Kabadumise ibizo layo ngokusina, kabayihlabelele indumiso ngesigujana lechacho.
4 For the Lord hath pleasure in his people: he will make the meeke glorious by deliuerance.
Ngoba iNkosi iyathokoza ngabantu bayo; izacecisa abamnene ngosindiso.
5 Let ye Saints be ioyfull with glorie: let them sing loud vpon their beddes.
Abangcwele kabathokoze ngendumiso, kabahlabelele ngenjabulo emibhedeni yabo.
6 Let the high Actes of God bee in their mouth, and a two edged sword in their hands,
Indumiso zikaNkulunkulu zisemphinjeni wabo, lenkemba esika nhlangothi mbili esandleni sabo,
7 To execute vengeance vpon the heathen, and corrections among the people:
ukuze benze impindiselo phezu kwabahedeni, izijeziso phezu kwezizwe,
8 To binde their Kings in chaines, and their nobles with fetters of yron,
ukuze babophe amakhosi azo ngamaketane, lezikhulu zazo ngezibopho zensimbi,
9 That they may execute vpon them the iudgement that is written: this honour shall be to all his Saintes. Prayse ye the Lord.
ukuze benze isahlulelo esibhaliweyo phezu kwazo. Loludumo abangcwele bayo bonke balalo. Dumisani iNkosi!
