< Psalms 149 >

1 Praise YAH! Sing to YHWH a new song, His praise in an assembly 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 Israel rejoices in his Maker, Sons 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 They praise His Name in a dance, Sing praise to Him with 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 is pleased with His people, He beautifies the humble 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 Saints exult in glory, They sing aloud on 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 The exaltation of God [is] in their throat, And a two-edged 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 do vengeance among nations, Punishments 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 chains, And their honored ones with chains 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 do among them the judgment written, It [is] an honor for all his saints. Praise YAH!
為向他們施行經上的審訊。這也就是一切聖徒的光榮。
