Salmos 149

1 Louvae ao Senhor. Cantae ao Senhor um cantico novo, e o seu louvor na congregação dos sanctos.

Praise Yahweh! Sing a new song to Yahweh, praise him whenever [his] faithful [people] gather together!

2 Alegre-se Israel n'aquelle que o fez, gozem-se os filhos de Sião no seu rei.

[You] Israeli people, be glad because of [what God], who created you, [has done for you]! You people of Jerusalem, rejoice because of [what God] your king [has done for you]!

3 Louvem o seu nome com flauta; cantem-lhe o seu louvor com adufe e harpa.

Praise Yahweh by dancing, by beating/playing tambourines, and by playing harps to praise him!

4 Porque o Senhor se agrada do seu povo; ornará os mansos com a salvação.

Yahweh is pleased with his people; he honors humble [people] by helping them to defeat [their enemies].

5 Exultem os sanctos na gloria, alegrem-se nas suas camas.

God’s people should rejoice because they have won battles and they should sing joyfully all during the night!

6 Estejam na sua garganta os altos louvores de Deus, e espada de dois fios nas suas mãos,

They [MTY] should shout loudly to praise God; but [they should also hold] sharp swords in their hands,

7 Para tomarem vingança das nações, e darem reprehensões aos povos;

[ready to use them] to defeat the [soldiers of] nations [that do not worship God], and to punish the people [of those nations],

8 Para aprisionarem os seus reis com cadeias, e os seus nobres com grilhões de ferro;

and to fasten the arms and legs of their kings and other leaders with iron chains,

9 Para fazerem n'elles o juizo escripto; esta será a gloria de todos os sanctos. Louvae ao Senhor.

to judge [and punish] the people of those nations, like [God] wrote/declared [should be done]. It is (a privilege/an honor) for God’s faithful people to do that! Praise Yahweh!
