Psalms 149

1 Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song. His praise is in the Church of the saints.

הַ֥לְלוּ יָ֨הּ ׀ שִׁ֣ירוּ לַֽ֭יהוָה שִׁ֣יר חָדָ֑שׁ תְּ֝הִלָּתֹ֗ו בִּקְהַ֥ל חֲסִידִֽים׃

2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made them, and let the sons of Zion exult in their king.

יִשְׂמַ֣ח יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל בְּעֹשָׂ֑יו בְּנֵֽי־צִ֝יֹּ֗ון יָגִ֥ילוּ בְמַלְכָּֽם׃

3 Let them praise his name in chorus. Let them sing psalms to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

יְהַֽלְל֣וּ שְׁמֹ֣ו בְמָחֹ֑ול בְּתֹ֥ף וְ֝כִנֹּ֗ור יְזַמְּרוּ־לֹֽו׃

4 For the Lord is well pleased with his people, and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.

כִּֽי־רֹוצֶ֣ה יְהוָ֣ה בְּעַמֹּ֑ו יְפָאֵ֥ר עֲ֝נָוִ֗ים בִּישׁוּעָֽה׃

5 The saints will exult in glory. They will rejoice upon their couches.

יַעְלְז֣וּ חֲסִידִ֣ים בְּכָבֹ֑וד יְ֝רַנְּנ֗וּ עַל־מִשְׁכְּבֹותָֽם׃

6 The exultations of God will be in their throat, and two-edged swords will be in their hands:

רֹומְמֹ֣ות אֵ֭ל בִּגְרֹונָ֑ם וְחֶ֖רֶב פִּֽיפִיֹּ֣ות בְּיָדָֽם׃

7 to obtain vindication among the nations, chastisements among the peoples,

לַעֲשֹׂ֣ות נְ֭קָמָה בַּגֹּויִ֑ם תֹּֽ֝וכֵחֹ֗ת בַּל־אֻמִּֽים׃

8 to bind their kings with shackles and their nobles with manacles of iron,

לֶאְסֹ֣ר מַלְכֵיהֶ֣ם בְּזִקִּ֑ים וְ֝נִכְבְּדֵיהֶ֗ם בְּכַבְלֵ֥י בַרְזֶֽל׃

9 to obtain judgment over them, as it has been written. This is glory for all his saints. Alleluia.

לַעֲשֹׂ֤ות בָּהֶ֨ם ׀ מִשְׁפָּ֬ט כָּת֗וּב הָדָ֣ר ה֭וּא לְכָל־חֲסִידָ֗יו הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃
