Psalm 149
1 Hallelujah!
Sing to the Lord a new song,o
his praise in the assembly of the faithful.p
2 Let Israel celebrate its Maker;
let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.q
3 Let them praise his name with dancing
and make music to him with tambourine and lyre.r
4 For the Lord takes pleasure in his people;s
he adorns the humble with salvation.t
5 Let the faithful celebrate in triumphal glory;
let them shout for joy on their beds.u
6 Let the exaltation of God be in their mouthsB
and a double-edged sword in their hands,v
7 inflicting vengeance on the nations
and punishment on the peoples,w
8 binding their kings with chains
and their dignitaries with iron shackles,x
9 carrying out the judgment decreed against them.
This honor is for all his faithful people.y
Hallelujah!
