Psalms 149

1 Hallelujah. Sing unto the Lord a new song, his praise in the congregation of the pious.

הַלְלוּ יָהּ ׀ שִׁירוּ לַֽיהוָה שִׁיר חָדָשׁ תְּהִלָּתוֹ בִּקְהַל חֲסִידִֽים׃

2 Let Israel rejoice in his Maker: let the children of Zion exult in their King.

יִשְׂמַח יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּעֹשָׂיו בְּנֵֽי־צִיּוֹן יָגִילוּ בְמַלְכָּֽם׃

3 Let them praise his name in the dance: with the timbrel and harp let them sing praises unto him.

יְהַֽלְלוּ שְׁמוֹ בְמָחוֹל בְּתֹף וְכִנּוֹר יְזַמְּרוּ־לֽוֹ׃

4 For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people; he will adorn the meek with salvation.

כִּֽי־רוֹצֶה יְהוָה בְּעַמּוֹ יְפָאֵר עֲנָוִים בִּישׁוּעָֽה׃

5 Let the pious be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their couches.

יַעְלְזוּ חֲסִידִים בְּכָבוֹד יְרַנְּנוּ עַל־מִשְׁכְּבוֹתָֽם׃

6 The exalted praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword is in their hand;

רוֹמְמוֹת אֵל בִּגְרוֹנָם וְחֶרֶב פִּֽיפִיּוֹת בְּיָדָֽם׃

7 To execute vengeance on the nations, and chastisements on the people:

לַעֲשׂוֹת נְקָמָה בַּגּוֹיִם תּֽוֹכֵחֹת בַּל־אֻמִּֽים׃

8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron:

לֶאְסֹר מַלְכֵיהֶם בְּזִקִּים וְנִכְבְּדֵיהֶם בְּכַבְלֵי בַרְזֶֽל׃

9 To execute upon them the judgment [which is] written: this is an honor for all his pious servants. Hallelujah.

לַעֲשׂוֹת בָּהֶם ׀ מִשְׁפָּט כָּתוּב הָדָר הוּא לְכָל־חֲסִידָיו הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃
