Psalms 149

1 Praise ye Jah! Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.

Mou fakamālō kia Sihova. Hiva kia Sihova ʻaki ʻae hiva foʻou, mo e fakamālō kiate ia ʻi he fakataha ʻoe kakai māʻoniʻoni.

2 Israel doth rejoice in his Maker, Sons of Zion do joy in their king.

Ke fiefia ʻa ʻIsileli ʻiate ia naʻa ne ngaohi ia: ke fiefia ʻae fānau ʻa Saione ʻi honau Tuʻi.

3 They praise His name in a dance, With timbrel and harp sing praise to Him.

Kenau fakamālō ki hono huafa ʻi he meʻe: kenau hiva fakamālō kiate ia ʻaki ʻae lali iiki mo e haʻape.

4 For Jehovah is pleased with His people, He beautifieth the humble with salvation.

He ʻoku fiefia ʻa Sihova ʻi hono kakai te ne teuteu ʻae angamalū ʻaki ʻae fakamoʻui.

5 Exult do saints in honour, They sing aloud on their beds.

Ke fiefia ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni ʻi he nāunau: kenau hiva kalanga, ʻi honau ngaahi mohenga.

6 The exaltation of God [is] in their throat, And a two-edged sword in their hand.

Ke ʻi honau ngutu ʻae fakamālō lahi ki he ʻOtua, pea ʻi honau nima ʻae heletā ʻoku fakatoumata;

7 To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples.

Ke ʻatu ʻae totongi ki he hiteni, mo e ngaahi tautea ki he kakai:

8 To bind their kings with chains, And their honoured ones with fetters of iron,

Ke haʻisia honau ngaahi tuʻi ʻaki ʻae ukamea fihifihi, mo honau houʻeiki ʻaki ʻae ngaahi haʻi ukamea;

9 To do among them the judgment written, An honour it [is] for all his saints. Praise ye Jah!

Ke fai kiate kinautolu ʻae fakamaau kuo tohi: kuo pehē ʻae hakeakiʻi ʻo ʻene kakai māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova.
