Mazmur 149

1 Haleluya! Nyanyikanlah bagi TUHAN nyanyian baru! Pujilah Dia dalam jemaah orang-orang saleh.

Praise Adonai! Sing to Adonai a new song, his tehilah ·praise song· in the assembly of the saints.

2 Biarlah Israel bersukacita atas Yang menjadikannya, biarlah bani Sion bersorak-sorak atas raja mereka!

Let Israel [God prevails] rejoice in him who made them. Let the children of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking] be joyful in their King.

3 Biarlah mereka memuji-muji nama-Nya dengan tari-tarian, biarlah mereka bermazmur kepada-Nya dengan rebana dan kecapi!

Let them praise his name in the dance! Let them sing zahmar ·musical praise· to him with tambourine and harp!

4 Sebab TUHAN berkenan kepada umat-Nya, Ia memahkotai orang-orang yang rendah hati dengan keselamatan.

For Adonai takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with yishu'ah ·salvation·.

5 Biarlah orang-orang saleh beria-ria dalam kemuliaan, biarlah mereka bersorak-sorai di atas tempat tidur mereka!

Let the saints rejoice in kavod ·weighty glory·. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

6 Biarlah pujian pengagungan Allah ada dalam kerongkongan mereka, dan pedang bermata dua di tangan mereka,

May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand;

7 untuk melakukan pembalasan terhadap bangsa-bangsa, penyiksaan-penyiksaan terhadap suku-suku bangsa,

To execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;

8 untuk membelenggu raja-raja mereka dengan rantai, dan orang-orang mereka yang mulia dengan tali-tali besi,

To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

9 untuk melaksanakan terhadap mereka hukuman seperti yang tertulis. Itulah semarak bagi semua orang yang dikasihi-Nya. Haleluya!

to execute on them the written judgment. All his saints have this honor. Halleluyah ·praise Yah·!
