诗篇 149

1 你们要赞美耶和华！ 向耶和华唱新歌， 在圣民的会中赞美他！

Praise the Lord! Sing a new song to the Lord! Praise him wherever his faithful followers gather!

2 愿以色列因造他的主欢喜！ 愿锡安的民因他们的王快乐！

Let Israel celebrate their Creator; let the people of Zion be happy in their King.

3 愿他们跳舞赞美他的名， 击鼓弹琴歌颂他！

Praise his nature with dancing; sing praises to him, accompanied by tambourine and harp.

4 因为耶和华喜爱他的百姓； 他要用救恩当作谦卑人的妆饰。

For the Lord enjoys his people; he honors the oppressed with salvation.

5 愿圣民因所得的荣耀高兴！ 愿他们在床上欢呼！

Let the faithful celebrate how he honors them; let them sing happily even from their beds.

6 愿他们口中称赞 神为高， 手里有两刃的刀，

May their praises of God always be on their lips, a double-edged sword in their hands,

7 为要报复列邦， 刑罚万民。

ready to take revenge on the nations, to punish the foreign peoples,

8 要用链子捆他们的君王， 用铁镣锁他们的大臣；

to imprison their kings in shackles and their leaders in iron chains,

9 要在他们身上施行所记录的审判。 他的圣民都有这荣耀。 你们要赞美耶和华！

to impose the judgment decreed against them. This is an honor for all his faithful followers. Praise the Lord!
