Psalms 149

1 Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD a new song— His praise in the assembly of the godly.

הַ֥לְלוּ יָ֨הּ ׀ שִׁ֣ירוּ לַֽ֭יהוָה שִׁ֣יר חָדָ֑שׁ תְּ֝הִלָּתֹ֗ו בִּקְהַ֥ל חֲסִידִֽים׃

2 Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.

יִשְׂמַ֣ח יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל בְּעֹשָׂ֑יו בְּנֵֽי־צִ֝יֹּ֗ון יָגִ֥ילוּ בְמַלְכָּֽם׃

3 Let them praise His name with dancing, and make music to Him with tambourine and harp.

יְהַֽלְל֣וּ שְׁמֹ֣ו בְמָחֹ֑ול בְּתֹ֥ף וְ֝כִנֹּ֗ור יְזַמְּרוּ־לֹֽו׃

4 For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He adorns the afflicted with salvation.

כִּֽי־רֹוצֶ֣ה יְהוָ֣ה בְּעַמֹּ֑ו יְפָאֵ֥ר עֲ֝נָוִ֗ים בִּישׁוּעָֽה׃

5 Let the saints exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.

יַעְלְז֣וּ חֲסִידִ֣ים בְּכָבֹ֑וד יְ֝רַנְּנ֗וּ עַל־מִשְׁכְּבֹותָֽם׃

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

רֹומְמֹ֣ות אֵ֭ל בִּגְרֹונָ֑ם וְחֶ֖רֶב פִּֽיפִיֹּ֣ות בְּיָדָֽם׃

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

לַעֲשֹׂ֣ות נְ֭קָמָה בַּגֹּויִ֑ם תֹּֽ֝וכֵחֹ֗ת בַּל־אֻמִּֽים׃

8 to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with shackles of iron,

לֶאְסֹ֣ר מַלְכֵיהֶ֣ם בְּזִקִּ֑ים וְ֝נִכְבְּדֵיהֶ֗ם בְּכַבְלֵ֥י בַרְזֶֽל׃

9 to execute the judgment written against them. This honor is for all His saints. Hallelujah!

לַעֲשֹׂ֤ות בָּהֶ֨ם ׀ מִשְׁפָּ֬ט כָּת֗וּב הָדָ֣ר ה֭וּא לְכָל־חֲסִידָ֗יו הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃
