Psalms 149

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 Halleluyah! Sing to ADONAI a new song, his praise in the assembly of the faithful.

2 Let Isra'el rejoice in their maker, let Tziyon's children take joy in their king.

3 Let them praise his name with dancing, make melody to him with tambourine and lyre;

4 for ADONAI takes delight in his people, he crowns the humble with salvation.

5 Let the faithful exult gloriously, let them sing for joy on their beds.

6 Let the high praises of God be in their throats, but a two-edged sword in their hands

7 to carry out vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,

8 to bind their kings with chains and put their nobles in irons,

9 to execute the judgments decreed for them; for this will glorify all his faithful. Halleluyah!

The Message Bible MSG

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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