Psalm 149

Praise for God’s Triumph

1   Hallelujah!

Sing to the LORD a new song, v

his praise in the assembly of the faithful. w

2   Let Israel celebrate its Maker;

let the children of Zion rejoice in their King. x

3   Let them praise his name with dancing

and make music to him with tambourine and lyre. y

4   For the LORD takes pleasure in his people; z

he adorns the humble with salvation. a

5   Let the faithful celebrate in triumphal glory;

let them shout for joy on their beds. b

6   Let the exaltation of God be in their mouths G

and a double-edged sword in their hands, c

7   inflicting vengeance on the nations

and punishment on the peoples, d

8   binding their kings with chains

and their dignitaries with iron shackles, e

9   carrying out the judgment decreed against them.

This honor is for all his faithful people. f

Hallelujah!
