第 149 篇
以色列要讚美上帝
1你們要讚美耶和華！
要向耶和華唱新歌，
在祂忠心子民的聚會中頌讚祂！
2願以色列因他的造物主而歡喜，
願錫安的百姓因他們的君王而快樂。
3願他們跳舞讚美祂的名，
擊鼓彈琴歌頌祂。
4因為耶和華喜愛祂的子民，
祂賜尊榮給謙卑的人，
使他們得勝。
5願祂忠心的子民因所得的榮耀而歡樂，
願他們躺臥在床上的時候也歡唱。
6-7願他們高聲頌讚耶和華，
手握兩刃利劍向列國復仇，
在列邦中施行懲罰，
8用鐵鏈捆綁他們的君王，
用鐵銬鎖住他們的首領，
9按他們的罪狀審判他們。
這就是祂忠心的子民所得的榮耀。
你們要讚美耶和華！
Psalm 149
1Praise the Lord.149:1 Hebrew Hallelu Yah; also in verse 9
Sing to the Lord a new song,
his praise in the assembly of his faithful people.
2Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;
let the people of Zion be glad in their King.
3Let them praise his name with dancing
and make music to him with tambourine and harp.
4For the Lord takes delight in his people;
he crowns the humble with victory.
5Let his faithful people rejoice in this honour
and sing for joy on their beds.
6May the praise of God be in their mouths
and a double-edged sword in their hands,
7to inflict vengeance on the nations
and punishment on the peoples,
8to bind their kings with fetters,
their nobles with shackles of iron,
9to carry out the sentence written against them –
this is the glory of all his faithful people.
Praise the Lord.
