Psalms 149
1 Praise Yahweh! Sing a new song to Yahweh, praise him whenever [his] faithful [people] gather together!
Haleluya! Nyanyikanlah bagi TUHAN nyanyian baru! Pujilah Dia dalam jemaah orang-orang saleh.
2 [You] Israeli people, be glad because of [what God], who created you, [has done for you]! You people of Jerusalem, rejoice because of [what God] your king [has done for you]!
Biarlah Israel bersukacita atas Yang menjadikannya, biarlah bani Sion bersorak-sorak atas raja mereka!
3 Praise Yahweh by dancing, by beating/playing tambourines, and by playing harps to praise him!
Biarlah mereka memuji-muji nama-Nya dengan tari-tarian, biarlah mereka bermazmur kepada-Nya dengan rebana dan kecapi!
4 Yahweh is pleased with his people; he honors humble [people] by helping them to defeat [their enemies].
Sebab TUHAN berkenan kepada umat-Nya, Ia memahkotai orang-orang yang rendah hati dengan keselamatan.
5 God’s people should rejoice because they have won battles and they should sing joyfully all during the night!
Biarlah orang-orang saleh beria-ria dalam kemuliaan, biarlah mereka bersorak-sorai di atas tempat tidur mereka!
6 They [MTY] should shout loudly to praise God; but [they should also hold] sharp swords in their hands,
Biarlah pujian pengagungan Allah ada dalam kerongkongan mereka, dan pedang bermata dua di tangan mereka,
7 [ready to use them] to defeat the [soldiers of] nations [that do not worship God], and to punish the people [of those nations],
untuk melakukan pembalasan terhadap bangsa-bangsa, penyiksaan-penyiksaan terhadap suku-suku bangsa,
8 and to fasten the arms and legs of their kings and other leaders with iron chains,
untuk membelenggu raja-raja mereka dengan rantai, dan orang-orang mereka yang mulia dengan tali-tali besi,
9 to judge [and punish] the people of those nations, like [God] wrote/declared [should be done]. It is (a privilege/an honor) for God’s faithful people to do that! Praise Yahweh!
untuk melaksanakan terhadap mereka hukuman seperti yang tertulis. Itulah semarak bagi semua orang yang dikasihi-Nya. Haleluya!
