< 詩篇 149 >
1 亞肋路亞!請您們向上主謳唱新歌,在聖者集會中向他祝賀!
Hallelujah. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and His praise in the assembly of the saints.
2 願以色列因自己的創造者而踴躍,願熙雍子民因自己的君王而歡樂!
Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
3 願他們以舞蹈讚美上主的名,願他們敲鼓彈琴向上主歌詠!
Let them praise His name in the dance; let them sing praises unto Him with the timbrel and harp.
4 因為上主喜愛自己的百姓,賞賜謙虛的人凱旋而得勝。
For the LORD taketh pleasure in His people; He adorneth the humble with salvation.
5 願聖徒因所受的光榮而喜慶,在自己的床榻上歡呼而歌頌。
Let the saints exult in glory; let them sing for joy upon their beds.
6 願讚美天主的歌辭在他們的口中,願雙刃的寶劍掌握在他們的手中,
Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;
To execute vengeance upon the nations, and chastisements upon the peoples;
8 要用鎖鍊捆住他們的國君,要用銬鐐鎖住他們的縉紳,
To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9 為向他們施行經上的審訊。這也就是一切聖徒的光榮。
To execute upon them the judgment written; He is the glory of all His saints. Hallelujah.
