Psalm 149Praise for God's Triumph
-
Hallelujah! Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of the faithful.
-
Let Israel celebrate its Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.
-
Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with tambourine and lyre.
-
For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with salvation.
-
Let the faithful celebrate in triumphal glory; let them shout for joy on their beds.
-
Let the exaltation of God be in their mouths and a double-edged sword in their hands,
-
inflicting vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,
-
binding their kings with chains and their dignitaries with iron shackles,
-
carrying out the judgment decreed against them. This honor is for all his faithful people. Hallelujah!
