Psalms 149

¹ Al eluia! Sing a new song to Yahweh: his praise in the assembly of the faithful!

² Israel shall rejoice in its Maker, the children of Zion delight in their king;

³ they shal dance in praise of his name, play to him on tambourines and harp!

⁴ For Yahweh loves his people, he will crown the humble with salvation.

⁵ The faithful exult in glory, shout for joy as they worship him,

⁶ praising God to the heights with their voices, a two-edged sword in their hands,

⁷ to wreak vengeance on the nations, punishment on the peoples,

⁸ to load their kings with chains and their nobles with iron fetters,

⁹ to execute on them the judgement passed -- to the honour of al his faithful.
