< Psalms 149 >
1 Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints.
Aleluja! Pojte Gospodu pesem novo; hvalo njegovo v zboru njih, katere sprejema prijazno.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
Veséli se Izrael v njem, ki ga je ustvaril; sinovi Sijonski naj se radujejo v kralji svojem.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance! Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp!
Hvalijo naj ime njegovo s piščaljo; z bobnom in strunami naj mu prepevajo.
4 For the LORD takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.
Ker milosten je Gospod z ljudstvom svojim; krotke diči z blaginjo.
5 Let the saints rejoice in honour. Let them sing for joy on their beds.
Radujejo se naj v slavi prijazno sprejeti; pojó naj na ležiščih svojih,
6 May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand,
Hvalo povišujočo Boga mogočnega v grlu svojem, in meč dvorezni v roki svoji.
7 to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;
Da se mašujejo nad narodi, ljudstva pokoré.
8 to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
Da zvežejo z verigami njih kralje; in njih plemenitnike z vezmi železnimi.
9 to execute on them the written judgement. All his saints have this honour. Praise the LORD!
Da nad njimi spolnijo pisano pravico; kar je čast vsem onim, katere sprejema prijazno. Aleluja!
