< Mazmur 149 >
1 Pujilah TUHAN! Nyanyikanlah lagu baru bagi TUHAN, pujilah Dia dalam kumpulan umat-Nya!
Hallelujah. Sing to the Lord a new song, sound his praise where the faithful are gathered.
2 Bersukacitalah, hai Israel karena Penciptamu; bergembiralah, hai penduduk Sion karena Rajamu!
Let Israel rejoice in its maker, sons of Zion exult in their king.
3 Pujilah nama-Nya dengan tari-tarian, pujilah Dia dengan kecapi dan rebana!
Let them praise his name in the dance, making music with lyre and with timbrel.
4 TUHAN berkenan kepada umat-Nya; Ia memberi kemenangan kepada orang yang rendah hati.
For the Lord delights in his people, adorning the humble with victory.
5 Biarlah umat Allah bersukaria karena kejayaan-Nya, dan menyanyi gembira sepanjang malam.
Let the faithful exult and extol him with glad ringing cries all night long.
6 Biarlah mereka memuji Allah dengan suara lantang, sambil memegang pedang terasah
High praises of God in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand:
7 untuk membalas bangsa-bangsa, dan menghukum suku-suku bangsa;
on the heathen to execute vengeance, and chastisement sore on the nations,
8 untuk membelenggu raja-raja, dan merantai para penguasa mereka;
binding 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 on them the doom that is written. This is the glory of all his faithful. Hallelujah.
