Psalms 149

1 Praise ye the LORD! Sing unto the LORD a new song; His praise in the assembly of the godly!

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 sons 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 praise 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 the LORD taketh pleasure in his people; He will beautify the distressed with salvation.

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

5 Let the godly-rejoice in their glory; Let them shout for joy 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 praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged 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 nations, And punishment upon the peoples!

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 sentence which is written: This honor have all his godly ones. Praise ye the LORD!

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