Psalm 149
New American Standard Bible
Israel Invoked to Praise the Lord.
149 [a]Praise [b]the Lord!
Sing a (A)new song to the Lord,
And His praise (B)in the congregation of the godly ones.
2 Israel shall be joyful in (C)his Maker;
The sons of Zion shall rejoice in their (D)King.
3 They shall praise His name with (E)dancing;
They shall sing praises to Him with (F)tambourine and lyre.
4 For the Lord (G)takes pleasure in His people;
He will (H)glorify the lowly with salvation.
5 The (I)godly ones shall be jubilant in glory;
They shall (J)sing for joy on their beds.
6 The (K)high praises of God shall be in their [c]mouths,
And a (L)two-edged (M)sword in their hands,
7 To (N)execute vengeance on the nations,
And punishment on the peoples,
8 To bind their kings (O)with chains,
And their (P)dignitaries with shackles of iron,
9 To (Q)execute against them the judgment written.
This is an (R)honor for all His godly ones.
[d]Praise [e]the Lord!

The Voice
Psalm 149
1 Praise the Eternal!
Write new songs; sing them to Him with all your might!
Gather with His faithful followers in joyful praise;
2 Let all of Israel celebrate their Maker, their God, their friend;
let the children of Zion find great joy in their true King.
3 So let the music begin; praise His name—dance and sing
to the rhythm of the tambourine, and to the tune of the harp.
4 For the Eternal is listening, and nothing pleases Him more than His people;
He raises up the poor and endows them with His salvation.
5 Let His faithful followers erupt in praise,
singing triumphantly wherever they are, even as they lie down for sleep in the evening.
6 With the name of God and praise in their mouths,
with a two-edged sword in their hands,
7 Let them take revenge on all nations who deny God.
Let them punish the peoples.
8 Kings and nobles will be locked up,
and their freedom will be bound in iron shackles.
9 This judgment against them, decreed by a holy God, will be carried out.
It’s an honor for all His faithful followers to serve Him.
Praise the Eternal!
Psalm 149
The Message
149 1-4 Hallelujah!
Sing to God a brand-new song,
praise him in the company of all who love him.
Let all Israel celebrate their Sovereign Creator,
Zion’s children exult in their King.
Let them praise his name in dance;
strike up the band and make great music!
And why? Because God delights in his people,
adorns plain folk with salvation garlands!
5-9 Let true lovers break out in praise,
sing out from wherever they’re sitting,
Shout the high praises of God,
brandish their swords in the wild sword-dance—
A portent of vengeance on the God-defying nations,
a signal that punishment’s coming,
Their kings chained and hauled off to jail,
their leaders behind bars for good,
The judgment on them carried out to the letter
—and all who love God in the seat of honor!
Hallelujah!

Alabe Israel al Señor
149 ¡Aleluya!
Canten al Señor un cántico nuevo(A),
Y Su alabanza en la congregación de los santos(B).
2 Alégrese Israel en su Creador(C);
Regocíjense los hijos de Sión en su Rey(D).
3 Alaben Su nombre con danza(E);
Y canten a Él alabanza con pandero y lira(F).
4 Porque el Señor se deleita en Su pueblo(G);
Adornará de salvación a los afligidos(H).
5 Regocíjense de gloria los santos(I);
Canten con gozo sobre sus camas(J).
6 Sean las alabanzas de Dios en su boca(K),
Y una espada de dos filos en su mano(L),
7 Para ejecutar venganza en las naciones(M)
Y castigo en los pueblos;
8 Para atar a sus reyes con cadenas(N)
Y a sus nobles con grillos de hierro(O);
9 Para ejecutar en ellos el juicio decretado(P):
Esto es gloria para todos Sus santos(Q).
¡Aleluya!
