詩篇 149

1 你們要讚美耶和華！ 向耶和華唱新歌， 在聖民的會中讚美他！

Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the holy ones.

2 願以色列因造他的主歡喜！ 願錫安的民因他們的王快樂！

Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

3 願他們跳舞讚美他的名， 擊鼓彈琴歌頌他！

Let them praise his name in the dance! Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp!

4 因為耶和華喜愛他的百姓； 他要用救恩當作謙卑人的妝飾。

For the LORD takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation [yeshu`ah].

5 願聖民因所得的榮耀高興！ 願他們在床上歡呼！

Let the holy ones rejoice in honor. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

6 願他們口中稱讚上帝為高， 手裏有兩刃的刀，

May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand,

7 為要報復列邦， 刑罰萬民。

to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;

8 要用鍊子捆他們的君王， 用鐵鐐鎖他們的大臣；

to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

9 要在他們身上施行所記錄的審判。 他的聖民都有這榮耀。 你們要讚美耶和華！

to execute on them the written judgment. All his holy ones have this honor. Praise the LORD!
