Psalm 149

Praise for God’s Triumph

¹Hallelujah!

Sing to the Lord a new song, ^c

His praise in the assembly of the godly. ^d

²Let Israel celebrate its Maker;

let the children of Zion rejoice in their King. ^e

³Let them praise His name with dancing

and make music to Him with tambourine and lyre. ^f

⁴For Yahweh takes pleasure in His people; ^g

He adorns the humble with salvation. ^h

⁵Let the godly celebrate in triumphal glory;

let them shout for joy on their beds. ⁱ

⁶Let the exaltation of God be in their mouths ^j

and a double-edged sword in their hands, ^k

⁷inflicting vengeance on the nations

and punishment on the peoples, ^l

⁸binding their kings with chains

and their dignitaries with iron shackles, ^m

⁹carrying out the judgment decreed against them.

This honor is for all His godly people. ⁿ

Hallelujah!
