< Psalms 149 >

1 Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD a new song— His praise in the assembly of the godly.
亞肋路亞!請您們向上主謳唱新歌,在聖者集會中向他祝賀!
2 Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.
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!
3 Let them praise His name with dancing, and make music to Him with tambourine and harp.
願他們以舞蹈讚美上主的名,願他們敲鼓彈琴向上主歌詠!
4 For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He adorns the afflicted with salvation.
因為上主喜愛自己的百姓,賞賜謙虛的人凱旋而得勝。
5 Let the saints exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.
願聖徒因所受的光榮而喜慶,在自己的床榻上歡呼而歌頌。
6 May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a double-edged sword in their hands,
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,
7 to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,
為向異邦報仇雪恥,為向列國進攻襲擊,
8 to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with shackles of iron,
要用鎖鍊捆住他們的國君,要用銬鐐鎖住他們的縉紳,
9 to execute the judgment written against them. This honor is for all His saints. Hallelujah!
為向他們施行經上的審訊。這也就是一切聖徒的光榮。
