1ハレルヤ。
主をほめたたえ、新しい歌を歌いましょう。
神の民よ。賛美の歌声を上げなさい。
2イスラエルよ、あなたを造られた主を喜びなさい。
エルサレムの人々よ、王であるお方の前で喜びなさい。
3タンバリンと竪琴の伴奏で、
踊りながら神の御名をほめたたえなさい。
4-5主はご自分の民を喜んで受け入れ、
謙虚な者を救ってくださるのです。
この光栄を思い浮かべて、
神の民が感謝しますように。
寝床でも、喜びのあまり歌いだしますように。
6-7神の民よ、主をあがめなさい。
神に代わって両刃の剣を取り、国々を罰しなさい。
8王や指導者を鉄の鎖で縛り上げ、
9宣告されたとおりに処罰しなさい。
神の民の栄光は神ご自身です。
ハレルヤ。主をほめたたえましょう。
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.
