149:1
Alleluia! Sing a new song to Yahweh: his praise in the assembly of the faithful!
149:2
Israel shall rejoice in its Maker, the children of Zion delight in their king;
149:3
they shall dance in praise of his name, play to him on tambourines and harp!
149:4
For Yahweh loves his people, he will crown the humble with salvation.
149:5
The faithful exult in glory, shout for joy as they worship him,
149:6
praising God to the heights with their voices, a two-edged sword in their hands,
149:7
to wreak vengeance on the nations, punishment on the peoples,
149:8
to load their kings with chains and their nobles with iron fetters,
149:9
to execute on them the judgement passed -- to the honour of all his faithful.
