Psalms 149

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

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 celebrate their Creator; let the people of Zion be happy 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 Praise his nature with dancing; sing praises to him, accompanied by 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 enjoys his people; he honors the oppressed 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 faithful celebrate how he honors them; let them sing happily even from 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 their praises of God always be on their lips, 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 ready to take revenge on the nations, to punish the foreign peoples,

為向異邦報仇雪恥，為向列國進攻襲擊，

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

要用鎖鍊捆住他們的國君，要用銬鐐鎖住他們的縉紳，

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

為向他們施行經上的審訊。這也就是一切聖徒的光榮。
