Psalms 149

1Halleluyah! Sing to Adonai a new song, His praise in the assembly of the kedoshim.

2Let Israel rejoice in its Maker. Let the children of Zion be glad in their King.

3Let them praise His Name with dancing. Let them sing praises to Him with tambourine and harp.

4For Adonai takes pleasure in His people. He crowns the humble with salvation.

5Let the kedoshim exult in glory. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

6Let God’s high praises be in their mouth and a two-edged sword in their hand—

7to execute vengeance upon the nations and rebukes on the peoples,

8to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with fetters of iron,

9to carry out the sentence decreed— this is the glory of all His kedoshim. Halleluyah!
