< Psalms 149 >
1 Praise Yahweh! Sing to Yahweh a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints.
你們要讚美耶和華! 向耶和華唱新歌, 在聖民的會中讚美他!
2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
願以色列因造他的主歡喜! 願錫安的民因他們的王快樂!
3 Let them praise his name in the dance! Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp!
願他們跳舞讚美他的名, 擊鼓彈琴歌頌他!
4 For Yahweh takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.
因為耶和華喜愛他的百姓; 他要用救恩當作謙卑人的妝飾。
5 Let the saints rejoice in honor. Let them sing for joy on their beds.
願聖民因所得的榮耀高興! 願他們在床上歡呼!
6 May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand,
願他們口中稱讚上帝為高, 手裏有兩刃的刀,
7 to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;
為要報復列邦, 刑罰萬民。
8 to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
要用鍊子捆他們的君王, 用鐵鐐鎖他們的大臣;
9 to execute on them the written judgment. All his saints have this honor. Praise Yah!
要在他們身上施行所記錄的審判。 他的聖民都有這榮耀。 你們要讚美耶和華!
