Psalm 149
1Hallelujah!
Sing a new song to the Lord.
Sing his praise in the assembly of godly people.
2Let Israel find joy in their creator.
Let the people of Zion rejoice over their king.
3Let them praise his name with dancing.
Let them make music to him with tambourines and lyres,
4because the Lord takes pleasure in his people.
He crowns those who are oppressed with victory.
5Let godly people triumph in glory.
Let them sing for joy on their beds.
6Let the high praises of God be in their throats
and two-edged swords in their hands
7to take vengeance on the nations,
to punish the people of the world,
8to put their kings in chains
and their leaders in iron shackles,
9to carry out the judgment that is written against them.
This is an honor that belongs to all his godly ones.
Hallelujah!

PSALM 149
1Hallelujah! Sing unto Jehovah a new song; sing his praise in the congregation of the godly. 2Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King. 3Let them praise his name in the dance; let them sing psalms unto him with the tambour and harp. 4For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people; he beautifieth the meek with salvation. 5Let the godly exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.
6Let the high praises of ·God#GodHebrew: El be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand: 7To execute vengeance against the nations, and punishment among the peoples; 8To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; 9To execute upon them the judgment written. This honour have all his saints. Hallelujah!
