Psalm 149
Cantate Domino
1
Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD a new song;
sing his praise in the congregation of the faithful.
2
Let Israel rejoice in his Maker;
let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
3
Let them praise his Name in the dance;
let them sing praise to him with timbrel and harp.
4
For the LORD takes pleasure in his people
and adorns the poor with victory.
5
Let the faithful rejoice in triumph;
let them be joyful on their beds.
6
Let the praises of God be in their throat
and a two-edged sword in their hand;
7
To wreak vengeance on the nations
and punishment on the peoples;
8
To bind their kings in chains
and their nobles with links of iron;
9
To inflict on them the judgment decreed;
this is glory for all his faithful people. Hallelujah!
