Psalms 149

1 Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: let his praise be in the church of the saints.

Mou fakamālō kia Sihova. Hiva kia Sihova ʻaki ʻae hiva foʻou, mo e fakamālō kiate ia ʻi he fakataha ʻoe kakai māʻoniʻoni.

2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: and let the children of Sion be joyful in their king.

Ke fiefia ʻa ʻIsileli ʻiate ia naʻa ne ngaohi ia: ke fiefia ʻae fānau ʻa Saione ʻi honau Tuʻi.

3 Let them praise his name in choir: let them sing to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

Kenau fakamālō ki hono huafa ʻi he meʻe: kenau hiva fakamālō kiate ia ʻaki ʻae lali iiki mo e haʻape.

4 For the Lord is well pleased with his people: and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.

He ʻoku fiefia ʻa Sihova ʻi hono kakai te ne teuteu ʻae angamalū ʻaki ʻae fakamoʻui.

5 The saints shall rejoice in glory: they shall be joyful in their beds.

Ke fiefia ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni ʻi he nāunau: kenau hiva kalanga, ʻi honau ngaahi mohenga.

6 The high praise of God shall be in their mouth: and two-edged swords in their hands:

Ke ʻi honau ngutu ʻae fakamālō lahi ki he ʻOtua, pea ʻi honau nima ʻae heletā ʻoku fakatoumata;

7 To execute vengeance upon the nations, chastisements among the people:

Ke ʻatu ʻae totongi ki he hiteni, mo e ngaahi tautea ki he kakai:

8 To bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron.

Ke haʻisia honau ngaahi tuʻi ʻaki ʻae ukamea fihifihi, mo honau houʻeiki ʻaki ʻae ngaahi haʻi ukamea;

9 To execute upon them the judgment that is written: this glory is to all his saints. Alleluia.

Ke fai kiate kinautolu ʻae fakamaau kuo tohi: kuo pehē ʻae hakeakiʻi ʻo ʻene kakai māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova.
