Psalms 149

1 Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.*149.1 Praise…: Heb. Hallelujah

2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.*149.2 in him…: Heb. in his Makers

3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.*149.3 in…: or, with the pipe

4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

5 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.

6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;*149.6 mouth: Heb. throat

7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;

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

9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.

以色列应当赞美 神

1 你们要赞美耶和华，

要向耶和华唱新歌，

在圣民的会中赞美他。

2 愿以色列因造他的主欢喜，

愿锡安的居民因他们的王快乐。

3 愿他们一边跳舞，一边赞美他的名，

击鼓弹琴歌颂他。

4 因为耶和华喜悦自己的子民，

以救恩给谦卑的人作装饰。

5 愿圣民因所得的荣耀高兴，

愿他们在床上欢呼。

6 愿称赞　神的话常在他们口中；

愿他们手里拿着两刃的剑，

7 为要报复列国，

惩罚万民；

8 用锁炼捆住他们的君王，

用铁镣锁住他们的权贵，

9 要在他们身上施行记录在册上的审判。

这就是他所有圣民的尊荣。

你们要赞美耶和华。
