Psalm 149

1. Halleluyah! 1 Sing to Adonai a new song, 1 his praise in the assembly of the faithful.

2. Let Isra’el rejoice in their maker, 2 let Tziyon’s children take joy in their king.

3. Let them praise his name with dancing, 3 make melody to him with tambourine and lyre;

4. for Adonai takes delight in his people, 4 he crowns the humble with salvation.

5. Let the faithful exult gloriously, 5 let them sing for joy on their beds.

6. Let the high praises of God be in their throats, 6 but a two-edged sword in their hands

7. to carry out vengeance on the nations 7 and punishment on the peoples,

8. to bind their kings with chains 8 and put their nobles in irons,

9. to execute the judgments decreed for them; 9 for this will glorify all his faithful. 9 Halleluyah!
