< Mazmur 149 >
1 Pujilah TUHAN! Nyanyikanlah lagu baru bagi TUHAN, pujilah Dia dalam kumpulan umat-Nya!
Praise Yahweh. Sing to Yahweh a new song; sing his praise in the assembly of the faithful ones.
2 Bersukacitalah, hai Israel karena Penciptamu; bergembiralah, hai penduduk Sion karena Rajamu!
Let Israel rejoice in the one who made them; let the people of Zion rejoice in their king.
3 Pujilah nama-Nya dengan tari-tarian, pujilah Dia dengan kecapi dan rebana!
Let them praise his name with dancing; let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp.
4 TUHAN berkenan kepada umat-Nya; Ia memberi kemenangan kepada orang yang rendah hati.
For Yahweh takes pleasure in his people; he glorifies the humble with salvation.
5 Biarlah umat Allah bersukaria karena kejayaan-Nya, dan menyanyi gembira sepanjang malam.
Let the godly rejoice in victory; let them sing for joy on their beds.
6 Biarlah mereka memuji Allah dengan suara lantang, sambil memegang pedang terasah
May the praises of God be in their mouths and a two-edged sword in their hand
7 untuk membalas bangsa-bangsa, dan menghukum suku-suku bangsa;
to execute vengeance on the nations and acts of punishment on the peoples.
8 untuk membelenggu raja-raja, dan merantai para penguasa mereka;
They will bind their kings with chains and their nobles with iron shackles.
9 untuk menghukum bangsa-bangsa atas perintah Allah. Itulah kemenangan umat yang dikasihi-Nya. Pujilah TUHAN!
They will execute the judgment that is written. This will be an honor for all his faithful ones. Praise Yahweh.
