Praise to God for His Salvation and Judgment

149 Praise[a] the Lord!

(A)Sing to the Lord a new song,
And His praise in the assembly of saints.

Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;
Let the children of Zion be joyful in their (B)King.
(C)Let them praise His name with the dance;
Let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp.
For (D)the Lord takes pleasure in His people;
(E)He will beautify the [b]humble with salvation.

Let the saints be joyful in glory;
Let them (F)sing aloud on their beds.
Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,
And (G)a two-edged sword in their hand,
To execute vengeance on the nations,
And punishments on the peoples;
To bind their kings with chains,
And their nobles with fetters of iron;
(H)To execute on them the written judgment—
(I)This honor have all His saints.

[c]Praise the Lord!

Dios, Creador y Rey

149 ¡Aleluya!

Canten al Señor un canto nuevo;
alábenlo en la comunidad de los fieles.
Alégrense los israelitas, el pueblo de Sión,
porque Dios es su Creador y Rey.
Alaben su nombre con danzas,
cántenle himnos al son de arpas y panderos.
Porque el Señor se complace en su pueblo;
da a los humildes el honor de la victoria.
Alégrense los fieles con el triunfo,
y aun dormidos canten de alegría.
Haya alabanzas a Dios en sus labios,
y en su mano una espada de dos filos
para vengarse de los paganos,
para castigar a las naciones,
para encadenar a los reyes y gente poderosa
con pesadas cadenas de hierro,
para cumplir en ellos la sentencia escrita.
¡Esto será una honra para todos sus fieles!

¡Aleluya!
