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 Yahweh! Sing a new song to Yahweh, praise him whenever [his] faithful [people] gather together!

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！

[You] Israeli people, be glad because of [what God], who created you, [has done for you]! You people of Jerusalem, rejoice because of [what God] your king [has done for you]!

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！

Praise Yahweh by dancing, by beating/playing tambourines, and by playing harps to praise him!

4 因為上主喜愛自己的百姓，賞賜謙虛的人凱旋而得勝。

Yahweh is pleased with his people; he honors humble [people] by helping them to defeat [their enemies].

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。

God’s people should rejoice because they have won battles and they should sing joyfully all during the night!

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，

They [MTY] should shout loudly to praise God; but [they should also hold] sharp swords in their hands,

7 為向異邦報仇雪恥，為向列國進攻襲擊，

[ready to use them] to defeat the [soldiers of] nations [that do not worship God], and to punish the people [of those nations],

8 要用鎖鍊捆住他們的國君，要用銬鐐鎖住他們的縉紳，

and to fasten the arms and legs of their kings and other leaders with iron chains,

9 為向他們施行經上的審訊。這也就是一切聖徒的光榮。

to judge [and punish] the people of those nations, like [God] wrote/declared [should be done]. It is (a privilege/an honor) for God’s faithful people to do that! Praise Yahweh!
