< Psalms 149 >
1 Praise ye the LORD. Sing to the LORD a new song, [and] his praise in the congregation of saints.
Hvalite Gospoda. Zapojte Gospodu novo pesem in njegovo hvalo v skupnosti svetih.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
Naj se Izrael veseli v njem, ki ga je naredil, naj bodo sionski otroci radostni v svojem Kralju.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises to him with the timbrel and harp:
Naj s plesom hvalijo njegovo ime; naj mu prepevajo hvalnice s tamburinom in harfo.
4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
Kajti Gospod se veseli v svojem ljudstvu; krotke bo okrasil z rešitvijo duše.
5 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
Naj bodo sveti radostni v slavi, naj na glas prepevajo na svojih posteljah.
6 [Let] the high [praises] of God [be] in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;
Naj bodo na njihovih ustih visoke Božje hvalnice in v njihovi roki dvorezen meč,
7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, [and] punishments upon the people;
da izvršijo maščevanje nad pogani in kaznovanja nad ljudstvi,
8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
da njihove kralje zvežejo z verigami in njihove plemiče z železnimi okovi,
9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honor have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
da nad njimi izvršijo napisano sodbo. To čast imajo vsi sveti. Hvalite Gospoda.
