< Mapisarema 149 >

1 Rumbidzai Jehovha. Imbirai Jehovha rwiyo rutsva, rumbidzo yake paungano yavatsvene.
Praise ye the LORD! Sing unto the LORD a new song; His praise in the assembly of the godly!
2 Israeri ngavafarire Muiti wavo; vanhu veZioni ngavafarire Mambo wavo.
Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; Let the sons 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 praise 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 distressed with salvation.
5 Vatsvene ngavafare nokukudzwa kwake, uye vaimbe nomufaro vari pamibhedha yavo.
Let the godly-rejoice in their glory; Let them shout for joy upon their beds!
6 Kurumbidzwa kwaMwari ngakuve pamiromo yavo, nomunondo unocheka kwose, mumaoko avo,
Let the 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 punishment 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 sentence which is written: This honor have all his godly ones. Praise ye the LORD!
