< Mazmur 149 >
1 Pujilah TUHAN! Nyanyikanlah lagu baru bagi TUHAN, pujilah Dia dalam kumpulan umat-Nya!
Praise ye the LORD! Sing unto the LORD a new song; His praise in the assembly of the godly!
2 Bersukacitalah, hai Israel karena Penciptamu; bergembiralah, hai penduduk Sion karena Rajamu!
Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their king!
3 Pujilah nama-Nya dengan tari-tarian, pujilah Dia dengan kecapi dan rebana!
Let them praise his name in the dance; Let them praise him with the timbrel and harp!
4 TUHAN berkenan kepada umat-Nya; Ia memberi kemenangan kepada orang yang rendah hati.
For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people; He will beautify the distressed with salvation.
5 Biarlah umat Allah bersukaria karena kejayaan-Nya, dan menyanyi gembira sepanjang malam.
Let the godly-rejoice in their glory; Let them shout for joy upon their beds!
6 Biarlah mereka memuji Allah dengan suara lantang, sambil memegang pedang terasah
Let the praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand,
7 untuk membalas bangsa-bangsa, dan menghukum suku-suku bangsa;
To execute vengeance upon the nations, And punishment upon the peoples!
8 untuk membelenggu raja-raja, dan merantai para penguasa mereka;
To bind their kings with chains. And their nobles with fetters of iron;
9 untuk menghukum bangsa-bangsa atas perintah Allah. Itulah kemenangan umat yang dikasihi-Nya. Pujilah TUHAN!
To execute upon them the sentence which is written: This honor have all his godly ones. Praise ye the LORD!
