< 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!
Praise Adonai! Sing to Adonai a new song, his tehilah ·praise song· 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 [God prevails] rejoice in him who made them. Let the children of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking] 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 zahmar ·musical praise· to him with tambourine 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 Adonai takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with yishu'ah ·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 rejoice in kavod ·weighty glory·. Let them sing for joy on 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,
May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand;
7 為向異邦報仇雪恥,為向列國進攻襲擊,
To execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on 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 on them the written judgment. All his saints have this honor. Halleluyah ·praise Yah·!
