Psalms 149

1 Hallelujah. Sing to the Lord a new song, sound his praise where the faithful are gathered.

2 Let Israel rejoice in its maker, sons of Zion exult in their king.

3 Let them praise his name in the dance, making music with lyre and with timbrel.

4 For the Lord delights in his people, adorning the humble with victory.

5 Let the faithful exult and extol him with glad ringing cries all night long.

6 High praises of God in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand:

7 on the heathen to execute vengeance, and chastisement sore on the nations,

8 binding their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron,

9 to execute on them the doom that is written. This is the glory of all his faithful. Hallelujah.
