Psalms 149

1 Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints.

亞肋路亞！請您們向上主謳唱新歌，在聖者集會中向他祝賀！

2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

願以色列因自己的創造者而踴躍，願熙雍子民因自己的君王而歡樂！

3 Let them praise his name in the dance! Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp!

願他們以舞蹈讚美上主的名，願他們敲鼓彈琴向上主歌詠！

4 For the LORD takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.

因為上主喜愛自己的百姓，賞賜謙虛的人凱旋而得勝。

5 Let the saints rejoice in honour. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

願聖徒因所受的光榮而喜慶，在自己的床榻上歡呼而歌頌。

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

願讚美天主的歌辭在他們的口中，願雙刃的寶劍掌握在他們的手中，

7 to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;

為向異邦報仇雪恥，為向列國進攻襲擊，

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

要用鎖鍊捆住他們的國君，要用銬鐐鎖住他們的縉紳，

9 to execute on them the written judgement. All his saints have this honour. Praise the LORD!

為向他們施行經上的審訊。這也就是一切聖徒的光榮。
