以色列要讚美上帝

149 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!
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。
願他們跳舞讚美祂的名,
擊鼓彈琴歌頌祂。
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。
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,
用鐵鏈捆綁他們的君王,
用鐵銬鎖住他們的首領,
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!

A Song About Rejoicing in God

149 Hallelujah!
    Sing a new song to the Lord,
        praising him where the godly gather together.
May Israel rejoice in its Maker,
    and Zion’s descendants in their King!
May they praise his name with dancing,
    chanting songs to him with tambourines and lyres.
For the Lord is pleased with his people;
    he beautifies the afflicted with salvation.

May those he loves be exalted,
    singing for joy on their couches.
Let high praises to God be heard[a] in their throats,
    while they wield two-edged swords in their hands
as they bring retribution to nations
    and punishment to peoples,
binding their kings with chains,
    their officials with iron bands,
and executing the judgment written against them.
This is honor for all the ones he loves.

Hallelujah!
