149:1 Praise the Lord.* Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of his faithful people. / *Hebrew Hallelu Yah; also in verse 9
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 timbrel and harp.
149:4 For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory.
149:5 Let his faithful people 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 faithful people. Praise the Lord.
