Psalms 149

1 Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the holy ones.

Dumisani uThixo. Hlabelelani uThixo ingoma entsha, indumiso yakhe ebandleni labathembekileyo.

2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

Akuthi u-Israyeli athokoze ngoMenzi wakhe; akuthi abantu baseZiyoni bajabule ngeNkosi yabo.

3 Let them praise his name in the dance! Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp!

Kabadumise ibizo lakhe ngokusina, batshaye amagedla lamachacho.

4 For the LORD takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation [yeshu`ah].

Ngoba uThixo uyathokoza ngabantu bakhe; abathobekileyo ubapha umqhele wensindiso.

5 Let the holy ones rejoice in honor. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

Akuthi abathembekileyo bathokoze ngale inhlonipho, bahlabele ngentokozo besemibhedeni yabo.

6 May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand,

Sengathi indumiso kaNkulunkulu ingaba semilonyeni yabo lenkemba esika nxazonke ibe sezandleni zabo,

7 to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;

ukuthi benze impindiselo phezu kwezizwe lesijeziso phezu kwabantu,

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

babophe amakhosi azo ngentambo lezikhulu zabo ngezibopho zensimbi,

9 to execute on them the written judgment. All his holy ones have this honor. Praise the LORD!

ukugcwalisa kubo isigwebo abasibhalelwayo. Lokhu kuyinkazimulo yabathembekileyo bakhe bonke. Dumisani uThixo.
