Psalms

149 Praise Jehovah!

Sing a new song for Jehovah,

his praise in an assembly of men of friendship!

2 Let Israel be glad for his Maker,

Sion’s sons jubilate for their King.

3 Let them praise his name with dancing,

make music for him with tambourine and lyre,

4 Because Jehovah is looking graciously on his people,

will make humble men magnificent in victory.

5 Let men of friendship exult in triumph,

carol on their beds,

6 Acclamations to Deity in their throats

and two-edged swords in their hands

7 To wreak revenge on the nations,

punishment on many a folk,

8 Putting their kings in fetters,

their aristocrats in iron shackles,

9 Executing on them prescribed justice;

it is a glittering privilege for all the men of his friendship.

Praise Jehovah!
