Psalms 149

1 Praise ye YHWH. Sing unto YHWH a new song, and his praise 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 rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful 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 the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel 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 YHWH taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek 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 be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud 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 Let the high praises of El be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;

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 upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;

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 fetters 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 upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye YHWH.

為向他們施行經上的審訊。這也就是一切聖徒的光榮。
