诗篇 149
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
以色列要赞美上帝
149 你们要赞美耶和华！
要向耶和华唱新歌，
在祂忠心子民的聚会中颂赞祂！
2 愿以色列因他的造物主而欢喜，
愿锡安的百姓因他们的君王而快乐。
3 愿他们跳舞赞美祂的名，
击鼓弹琴歌颂祂。
4 因为耶和华喜爱祂的子民，
祂赐尊荣给谦卑的人，
使他们得胜。
5 愿祂忠心的子民因所得的荣耀而欢乐，
愿他们躺卧在床上的时候也欢唱。
6-7 愿他们高声颂赞耶和华，
手握两刃利剑向列国复仇，
在列邦中施行惩罚，
8 用铁链捆绑他们的君王，
用铁铐锁住他们的首领，
9 按他们的罪状审判他们。
这就是祂忠心的子民所得的荣耀。
你们要赞美耶和华！

Psalm 149
New English Translation
Psalm 149[a]
149 Praise the Lord.
Sing to the Lord a new song.
Praise him in the assembly of the godly.[b]
2 Let Israel rejoice in their Creator.
Let the people[c] of Zion delight in their King.[d]
3 Let them praise his name with dancing.
Let them sing praises to him to the accompaniment of the tambourine and harp.
4 For the Lord takes delight in his people;
he exalts the oppressed by delivering them.[e]
5 Let the godly rejoice because of their vindication.[f]
Let them shout for joy upon their beds.[g]
6 May the praises of God be in their mouths
and a two-edged sword in their hands,
7 in order to take[h] revenge on the nations,
and punish foreigners.
8 The godly bind[i] their enemies’ kings in chains,
and their nobles in iron shackles,
9 and execute the judgment to which their enemies[j] have been sentenced.[k]
All his loyal followers will be vindicated.[l]
Praise the Lord.
