Mapisarema 149

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

PRAISE ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise in the congregation of 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 the timbrel and harp.

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

For the Lord 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 be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud 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 twoedged sword in their hand;

7 kuti vatsive pamusoro pendudzi, uye varange marudzi avanhu,

To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;

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 honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord.
