Psalms 149

1 Hallelujah! Sing to God a brand-new song, praise him in the company of all who love him.

1 Praise the LORD.Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of his faithful people.

2 Let all Israel celebrate their Sovereign Creator, Zion's children exult in their King.

2 Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the people of Zion be glad in their King.

3 Let them praise his name in dance; strike up the band and make great music!

3 Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with timbrel and harp.

4 And why? Because God delights in his people, festoons plain folk with salvation garlands!

4 For the LORD takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory.

5 Let true lovers break out in praise, sing out from wherever they're sitting,

5 Let his faithful people rejoice in this honor and sing for joy on their beds.

6 Shout the high praises of God, brandish their swords in the wild sword-dance -

6 May the praise of God be in their mouths and a double-edged sword in their hands,

7 A portent of vengeance on the God-defying nations, a signal that punishment's coming,

7 to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,

8 Their kings chained and hauled off to jail, their leaders behind bars for good,

8 to bind their kings with fetters, their nobles with shackles of iron,

9 The judgment on them carried out to the letter - and all who love God in the seat of honor! Hallelujah!

9 to carry out the sentence written against them— this is the glory of all his faithful people. Praise the LORD.
