< 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 to the Lord a new song, sound his praise where the faithful are gathered.
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 its maker, sons of Zion exult 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, making music with lyre and with timbrel.
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 delights in his people, adorning the humble with victory.
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 faithful exult and extol him with glad ringing cries all night long.
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,
High praises of God in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand:
on the heathen to execute vengeance, and chastisement sore on the nations,
8 要用鎖鍊捆住他們的國君,要用銬鐐鎖住他們的縉紳,
binding 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 doom that is written. This is the glory of all his faithful. Hallelujah.
