< Psalms 149 >
1 Praise ye Jah! Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.
Pujilah TUHAN! Nyanyikanlah lagu baru bagi TUHAN, pujilah Dia dalam kumpulan umat-Nya!
2 Israel doth rejoice in his Maker, Sons of Zion do joy in their king.
Bersukacitalah, hai Israel karena Penciptamu; bergembiralah, hai penduduk Sion karena Rajamu!
3 They praise His name in a dance, With timbrel and harp sing praise to Him.
Pujilah nama-Nya dengan tari-tarian, pujilah Dia dengan kecapi dan rebana!
4 For Jehovah is pleased with His people, He beautifieth the humble with salvation.
TUHAN berkenan kepada umat-Nya; Ia memberi kemenangan kepada orang yang rendah hati.
5 Exult do saints in honour, They sing aloud on their beds.
Biarlah umat Allah bersukaria karena kejayaan-Nya, dan menyanyi gembira sepanjang malam.
6 The exaltation of God [is] in their throat, And a two-edged sword in their hand.
Biarlah mereka memuji Allah dengan suara lantang, sambil memegang pedang terasah
7 To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples.
untuk membalas bangsa-bangsa, dan menghukum suku-suku bangsa;
8 To bind their kings with chains, And their honoured ones with fetters of iron,
untuk membelenggu raja-raja, dan merantai para penguasa mereka;
9 To do among them the judgment written, An honour it [is] for all his saints. Praise ye Jah!
untuk menghukum bangsa-bangsa atas perintah Allah. Itulah kemenangan umat yang dikasihi-Nya. Pujilah TUHAN!
