Псалтирь 149

1 Воспойте Господеви песнь нову: хваление Его в церкви преподобных.

Praise the Lord! Sing a new song to the Lord! Praise him wherever his faithful followers gather!

2 Да возвеселится Израиль о сотворшем его, и сынове Сиони возрадуются о Цари своем.

Let Israel celebrate their Creator; let the people of Zion be happy in their King.

3 Да восхвалят имя Его в лице, в тимпане и псалтири да поют Ему.

Praise his nature with dancing; sing praises to him, accompanied by tambourine and harp.

4 Яко благоволит Господь в людех Своих, и вознесет кроткия во спасение.

For the Lord enjoys his people; he honors the oppressed with salvation.

5 Восхвалятся преподобнии во славе и возрадуются на ложах своих.

Let the faithful celebrate how he honors them; let them sing happily even from their beds.

6 Возношения Божия в гортани их, и мечи обоюду остры в руках их:

May their praises of God always be on their lips, a double-edged sword in their hands,

7 сотворити отмщение во языцех, обличения в людех:

ready to take revenge on the nations, to punish the foreign peoples,

8 связати цари их путы, и славныя их ручными оковы железными:

to imprison their kings in shackles and their leaders in iron chains,

9 сотворити в них суд написан. Слава сия будет всем преподобным Его.

to impose the judgment decreed against them. This is an honor for all his faithful followers. Praise the Lord!
