Mapisarema 149

1 Rumbidzai Jehovha. Imbirai Jehovha rwiyo rutsva, rumbidzo yake paungano yavatsvene.

Praise ye Jehovah. Sing unto Jehovah a new song, And his praise in the assembly of the saints.

2 Israeri ngavafarire Muiti wavo; vanhu veZioni ngavafarire Mambo wavo.

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

3 Ngavarumbidze zita rake vachitamba, uye vamuridzire nziyo namatambureni nembira.

Let them praise his name in the dance: Let them sing praises unto him with timbrel and harp.

4 Nokuti Jehovha anofarira vanhu vake; vanozvininipisa anovashongedza korona noruponeso.

For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people: He will beautify the meek with salvation.

5 Vatsvene ngavafare nokukudzwa kwake, uye vaimbe nomufaro vari pamibhedha yavo.

Let the saints exult in glory: Let them sing for joy upon their beds.

6 Kurumbidzwa kwaMwari ngakuve pamiromo yavo, nomunondo unocheka kwose, mumaoko avo,

[Let] the high praises of God [be] in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand;

7 kuti vatsive pamusoro pendudzi, uye varange marudzi avanhu,

To execute vengeance upon the nations, And punishments upon the peoples;

8 vasunge madzimambo avo nengetani, namakurukota avo nezvisungo zvamatare,

To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron;

9 kuti vaite zvavakatongwa nazvo, zvakanyorwa pamusoro pavo. Ndiko kukudzwa kwavatsvene vose. Rumbidzai Jehovha.

To execute upon them the judgment written: This honor have all his saints. Praise ye Jehovah.
