Psalms 149

1 Praise all of you the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.

Dumisani iNkosi! HIabelelani iNkosi ingoma entsha, indumiso yayo ebandleni labangcwele.

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

UIsrayeli kathokoze ngoMenzi wakhe, abantwana beZiyoni kabathabe eNkosini yabo.

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

Kabadumise ibizo layo ngokusina, kabayihlabelele indumiso ngesigujana lechacho.

4 For the LORD takes pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

Ngoba iNkosi iyathokoza ngabantu bayo; izacecisa abamnene ngosindiso.

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

Abangcwele kabathokoze ngendumiso, kabahlabelele ngenjabulo emibhedeni yabo.

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

Indumiso zikaNkulunkulu zisemphinjeni wabo, lenkemba esika nhlangothi mbili esandleni sabo,

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

ukuze benze impindiselo phezu kwabahedeni, izijeziso phezu kwezizwe,

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

ukuze babophe amakhosi azo ngamaketane, lezikhulu zazo ngezibopho zensimbi,

9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise all of you the LORD.

ukuze benze isahlulelo esibhaliweyo phezu kwazo. Loludumo abangcwele bayo bonke balalo. Dumisani iNkosi!
