Psalm
149 Praise Jah!*
2 Let Israel rejoice in its Grand Maker;+
Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.
3 Let them praise his name with dancing+
And sing praises* to him, accompanied by the tambourine and the harp.+
4 For Jehovah takes pleasure in his people.+
He adorns the meek with salvation.+
5 Let the loyal ones exult in glory;
Let them shout for joy upon their beds.+
6 Let the songs praising God be in their throat,
And a two-edged sword be in their hand,
7 To execute vengeance on the nations
And punishment on the peoples,
8 To bind their kings with shackles
And their nobles with iron fetters,
9 To execute the judgment written against them.+
This honor belongs to all his loyal ones.
Praise Jah!*
