Psalms 149

1 PRAISE ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.

Dumisani uThixo. Hlabelelani uThixo ingoma entsha, indumiso yakhe ebandleni labathembekileyo.

2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

Akuthi u-Israyeli athokoze ngoMenzi wakhe; akuthi abantu baseZiyoni bajabule ngeNkosi yabo.

3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.

Kabadumise ibizo lakhe ngokusina, batshaye amagedla lamachacho.

4 For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

Ngoba uThixo uyathokoza ngabantu bakhe; abathobekileyo ubapha umqhele wensindiso.

5 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.

Akuthi abathembekileyo bathokoze ngale inhlonipho, bahlabele ngentokozo besemibhedeni yabo.

6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;

Sengathi indumiso kaNkulunkulu ingaba semilonyeni yabo lenkemba esika nxazonke ibe sezandleni zabo,

7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;

ukuthi benze impindiselo phezu kwezizwe lesijeziso phezu kwabantu,

8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

babophe amakhosi azo ngentambo lezikhulu zabo ngezibopho zensimbi,

9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord.

ukugcwalisa kubo isigwebo abasibhalelwayo. Lokhu kuyinkazimulo yabathembekileyo bakhe bonke. Dumisani uThixo.
