Psalms 149

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

Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. Waiatatia ki a Ihowa he waiata hou, me te whakamoemiti ki a ia i te whakaminenga o te hunga tapu.

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

Kia hari a Iharaira ki tona kaihanga: kia koa nga tama a Hiona ki to ratou Kingi.

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

Kia whakamoemiti ratou ki tona ingoa me te kanikani ano: kia himene ratou ki a ia i runga i te timipera, i te hapa.

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

E manako ana hoki a Ihowa ki tana iwi: mana e whakaataahua te hunga mahaki ki te whakaoranga.

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

Kia koa te hunga tapu i runga i te kororia: kia hamama ratou i te hari i runga i o ratou moenga.

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

Kia whai whakamoemiti o ratou mangai ki te Atua, kia whai hoari matarua to ratou ringa;

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

Hei rapu utu i nga tauiwi, hei whiu i nga iwi;

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

Hei herehere i o ratou kingi ki te makameka, i o ratou tangata nunui ki nga here rino;

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

Hei whakaputa ki a ratou i te whakaritenga kua oti te tuhituhi: No tona hunga tapu katoa tenei honore. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa.
