< Psalms 149 >

1 Praise the Lord! Sing a new song to the Lord! Praise him wherever his faithful followers gather!
Pojte Gospodu pjesmu novu; hvala da mu je na saboru svetijeh.
2 Let Israel celebrate their Creator; let the people of Zion be happy in their King.
Neka se veseli Izrailj o stvoritelju svom, sinovi Sionski nek se raduju o caru svom.
3 Praise his nature with dancing; sing praises to him, accompanied by tambourine and harp.
Neka hvale ime njegovo poklikujuæi, u bubanj i gusle neka mu udaraju.
4 For the Lord enjoys his people; he honors the oppressed with salvation.
Jer je mio Gospodu narod njegov, ukrašava smjerne spasavajuæi ih.
5 Let the faithful celebrate how he honors them; let them sing happily even from their beds.
Nek se vesele sveci u slavi, i nek se raduju na posteljama svojim.
6 May their praises of God always be on their lips, a double-edged sword in their hands,
Slava je Božija u ustima njihovijem, i maè s obje strane oštar u ruci njihovoj,
7 ready to take revenge on the nations, to punish the foreign peoples,
Da se osvete narodima, i pokaraju plemena;
8 to imprison their kings in shackles and their leaders in iron chains,
Da svežu careve njihove u lance, i vlastelu njihovu u okove gvozdene,
9 to impose the judgment decreed against them. This is an honor for all his faithful followers. Praise the Lord!
I izvrše na njima napisani sud. Ova je èast svima svecima njegovijem. Aliluja!
