Psalm 149

1 Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song; sing God's praise in the assembly of the faithful!

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

2 Let Israel celebrate its maker; let Zion's children rejoice in their king!

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

3 Let them praise God's name with dance; let them sing God's praise with the drum and lyre!

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

4 Because the LORD is pleased with his people, God will beautify the poor with saving help.

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

5 Let the faithful celebrate with glory; let them shout for joy on their beds.

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

6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouths and a double-edged sword in their hands,

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

7 to get revenge against the nations and punishment on the peoples,

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

8 binding their rulers in chains and their officials in iron shackles,

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

9 achieving the justice written against them. That will be an honor for all God's faithful people. Praise the LORD!

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