< 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.
