Psalms 149

1 Praise the Lord! Sing a new song to the Lord! Praise him wherever his faithful followers gather!

你們要讚美耶和華！ 向耶和華唱新歌， 在聖民的會中讚美他！

2 Let Israel celebrate their Creator; let the people of Zion be happy in their King.

願以色列因造他的主歡喜！ 願錫安的民因他們的王快樂！

3 Praise his nature with dancing; sing praises to him, accompanied by tambourine and harp.

願他們跳舞讚美他的名， 擊鼓彈琴歌頌他！

4 For the Lord enjoys his people; he honors the oppressed with salvation.

因為耶和華喜愛他的百姓； 他要用救恩當作謙卑人的妝飾。

5 Let the faithful celebrate how he honors them; let them sing happily even from their beds.

願聖民因所得的榮耀高興！ 願他們在床上歡呼！

6 May their praises of God always be on their lips, a double-edged sword in their hands,

願他們口中稱讚上帝為高， 手裏有兩刃的刀，

7 ready to take revenge on the nations, to punish the foreign peoples,

為要報復列邦， 刑罰萬民。

8 to imprison their kings in shackles and their leaders in iron chains,

要用鍊子捆他們的君王， 用鐵鐐鎖他們的大臣；

9 to impose the judgment decreed against them. This is an honor for all his faithful followers. Praise the Lord!

要在他們身上施行所記錄的審判。 他的聖民都有這榮耀。 你們要讚美耶和華！
