Psalm 149 – Song of Victory

149 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.
