< Psalms 149 >

1 Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song. His praise is in the Church of the saints.
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 him who made them, and let the sons of Zion exult 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 in chorus. Let them sing psalms to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.
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 is well pleased with his people, and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.
因為上主喜愛自己的百姓,賞賜謙虛的人凱旋而得勝。
5 The saints will exult in glory. They will rejoice upon their couches.
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 The exultations of God will be in their throat, and two-edged swords will be 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 obtain vindication among the nations, chastisements among the peoples,
為向異邦報仇雪恥,為向列國進攻襲擊,
8 to bind their kings with shackles and their nobles with manacles 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 obtain judgment over them, as it has been written. This is glory for all his saints. Alleluia.
為向他們施行經上的審訊。這也就是一切聖徒的光榮。
