1以色列應當讚美 神你們要讚美耶和華,要向耶和華唱新歌,在聖民的會中讚美他。
1Praise Yahweh! Sing to Yahweh a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints.
2願以色列因造他的主歡喜,願錫安的居民因他們的王快樂。
2Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
3願他們一邊跳舞,一邊讚美他的名,擊鼓彈琴歌頌他。
3Let them praise his name in the dance! Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp!
4因為耶和華喜悅自己的子民,以救恩給謙卑的人作裝飾。
4For Yahweh takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.
5願聖民因所得的榮耀高興,願他們在床上歡呼。
5Let the saints rejoice in honor. Let them sing for joy on their beds.
6願稱讚 神的話常在他們口中;願他們手裡拿著兩刃的劍,
6May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand;
7為要報復列國,懲罰萬民;
7To execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;
8用鎖鍊捆住他們的君王,用鐵鐐鎖住他們的權貴,
8To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9要在他們身上施行記錄在冊上的審判。這就是他所有聖民的尊榮。你們要讚美耶和華。
9to execute on them the written judgment. All his saints have this honor. Praise Yah!
