Sòm 149

1 Lwanj pou Seyè a! Chante yon chante tou nèf pou Seyè a! Fè lwanj li nan mitan tout moun k'ap sèvi l' yo lè yo reyini!

Praise ye Jehovah. Sing to Jehovah a new song, and his praise in the assembly of the sanctified.

2 Se pou pèp Izrayèl la fè kè l' kontan, paske se li menm ki fè yo. Se pou tout pèp Siyon an fè fèt, paske se li menm ki wa yo.

Let Israel rejoice in him who made him. Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.

3 Se pou nou danse pou fè lwanj li! Se pou nou bat tanbou, se pou nou jwe gita pou li!

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

4 Seyè a pran plezi l' nan pèp li a, li fè bèl bagay pou malere yo, li delivre yo.

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

5 Se pou pèp Bondye a fè kè yo kontan, paske yo genyen batay la.

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

6 Se pou yo rele byen fò lè y'ap fè lwanj Bondye, avèk nepe nan men yo,

The high praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand

7 pou tire revanj sou nasyon yo, pou pini pèp yo,

to execute vengeance upon the nations, and punishments upon the peoples,

8 pou yo mete wa yo nan chenn, pou mete grannèg yo nan sèp an fè,

to bind their kings with chains, and their ranking men with fetters of iron,

9 pou ba yo chatiman ki te ekri a. Se va yon bèl bagay pou tout moun k'ap sèvi Bondye. Lwanj pou Seyè a!

to execute upon them the judgment written. All his sanctified have this honor. Praise ye Jehovah.
