Psalm 149

Hallelujah!

Sing a new song to Yahweh.
    Sing his praise in the assembly of godly people.
Let Israel find joy in their creator.
    Let the people of Zion rejoice over their Melek.
Let them praise his name with dancing.
    Let them make music to him with tambourines and lyres,
because Yahweh takes pleasure in his people.
    He crowns those who are oppressed with victory.
Let godly people triumph in glory.
    Let them sing for joy on their beds.
Let the high praises of El be in their throats
    and two-edged swords in their hands
        to take vengeance on the nations,
        to punish the people of the world,
        to put their kings in chains
            and their leaders in iron shackles,
        to carry out the judgment that is written against them.
            This is an honor that belongs to all his godly ones.

Hallelujah!

149 Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.

For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.

Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;

To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;

To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord.
