Psalms 149

1 Praise ye the Lord. Sing ye vnto the Lord a newe song: let his prayse be heard in the Congregation of 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 reioyce in him that made him, and let ye children of Zion reioyce 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 prayse his Name with the flute: let them sing prayses vnto him with the timbrell and harpe.

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 hath pleasure in his people: he will make the meeke glorious by deliuerance.

因為上主喜愛自己的百姓，賞賜謙虛的人凱旋而得勝。

5 Let ye Saints be ioyfull with glorie: let them sing loud vpon their beddes.

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 Let the high Actes of God bee in their mouth, and a two 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 execute vengeance vpon the heathen, and corrections among the people:

為向異邦報仇雪恥，為向列國進攻襲擊，

8 To binde their Kings in chaines, and their nobles with fetters of yron,

要用鎖鍊捆住他們的國君，要用銬鐐鎖住他們的縉紳，

9 That they may execute vpon them the iudgement that is written: this honour shall be to all his Saintes. Prayse ye the Lord.

為向他們施行經上的審訊。這也就是一切聖徒的光榮。
