Psalm 149

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!
