Psalm 149

HNV

MSG

1 Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, His praise in the assembly of the holy ones.
1 Hallelujah! Sing to God a brand-new song, praise him in the company of all who love him.
2 Let Yisra'el rejoice in him who made them. Let the children of Tziyon be joyful in their King.
2 Let all Israel celebrate their Sovereign Creator, Zion's children exult in their King.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance! Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp!
3 Let them praise his name in dance; strike up the band and make great music!
4 For the LORD takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with yeshu`ah.
4 And why? Because God delights in his people, festoons plain folk with salvation garlands!
5 Let the holy ones rejoice in honor. Let them sing for joy on their beds.
5 Let true lovers break out in praise, sing out from wherever they're sitting,
6 May the high praises of God be in their mouths, And a two-edged sword in their hand;
6 Shout the high praises of God, brandish their swords in the wild sword-dance -
7 To execute vengeance on the nations, And punishments on the peoples;
7 A portent of vengeance on the God-defying nations, a signal that punishment's coming,
8 To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron;
8 Their kings chained and hauled off to jail, their leaders behind bars for good,
9 To execute on them the written judgment. All his holy ones have this honor. Praise the LORD!
9 The judgment on them carried out to the letter - and all who love God in the seat of honor! Hallelujah!
