Psalms 149
149
1-4Hallelujah!
Sing to God a brand-new song,
praise him in the company of all who love him.
Let all Israel celebrate their Sovereign Creator,
Zion’s children exult in their King.
Let them praise his name in dance;
strike up the band and make great music!
And why? Because God delights in his people,
adorns plain folk with salvation garlands!
5-9Let true lovers break out in praise,
sing out from wherever they’re sitting,
Shout the high praises of God,
brandish their swords in the wild sword-dance—
A portent of vengeance on the God-defying nations,
a signal that punishment’s coming,
Their kings chained and hauled off to jail,
their leaders behind bars for good,
The judgment on them carried out to the letter
—and all who love God in the seat of honor!
Hallelujah!

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!
