Psalm 149

God Praised by the Children of Zion

1 Halleluyah! Sing to ADONAI a new song, his praise in the assembly of the faithful. 

2 Let Isra'el rejoice in their maker, let Tziyon's children take joy in their king. 

3 Let them praise his name with dancing, make melody to him with tambourine and lyre; 

4 for ADONAI takes delight in his people, he crowns the humble with salvation. 

5 Let the faithful exult gloriously, let them sing for joy on their beds.

6 Let the high praises of God be in their throats, but a two-edged sword in their hands 

7 to carry out vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples, 

8 to bind their kings with chains and put their nobles in irons, 

9 to execute the judgments decreed for them; for this will glorify all his faithful. Halleluyah!
