149:1 Praise the LORD. Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints.
149:2 Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the people of Zion be glad in their King.
149:3 Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with tambourine and harp.
149:4 For the LORD takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with salvation.
149:5 Let the saints rejoice in this honor and sing for joy on their beds.
149:6 May the praise of God be in their mouths and a double-edged sword in their hands,
149:7 to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,
149:8 to bind their kings with fetters, their nobles with shackles of iron,
149:9 to carry out the sentence written against them. This is the glory of all his saints. Praise the LORD.
149:1 Hallelujah! / Sing a new song to Jehovah; / Sing His praise in the congregation of His faithful ones.
149:2 Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; / Let the children of Zion exult in their King.
149:3 Let them praise His name with dancing; / Let them sing psalms to Him with the tambourine and the lyre.
149:4 For Jehovah takes pleasure in His people; / He adorns the lowly with salvation.
149:5 Let the faithful ones exult in glory; / Let them give a ringing shout upon their beds.
149:6 Let the high praises of God be in their throats, / And a two-edged sword in their hand,
149:7 To execute vengeance on the nations / And punishment among the peoples;
149:8 To bind their kings with fetters / And their nobles with chains of iron;
149:9 To execute upon them the judgment written. / This honor is for all His faithful ones. / Hallelujah!
