Psalms 149

הַ֥לְלוּ יָ֨הּ ׀ שִׁ֣ירוּ לַֽ֭יהוָה שִׁ֣יר חָדָ֑שׁ תְּ֝הִלָּת֗וֹ בִּקְהַ֥ל חֲסִידִֽים׃

Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD a new song—His praise in the assembly of the godly.

Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.

יִשְׂמַ֣ח יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל בְּעֹשָׂ֑יו בְּנֵֽי־צִ֝יּ֗וֹן יָגִ֥ילוּ בְמַלְכָּֽם׃

Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

יְהַֽלְל֣וּ שְׁמ֣וֹ בְמָח֑וֹל בְּתֹ֥ף וְ֝כִנּ֗וֹר יְזַמְּרוּ־לֽוֹ׃

Let them praise His name with dancing, and make music to Him with tambourine and harp.

Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.

כִּֽי־רוֹצֶ֣ה יְהוָ֣ה בְּעַמּ֑וֹ יְפָאֵ֥ר עֲ֝נָוִ֗ים בִּישׁוּעָֽה׃

For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He adorns the afflicted with salvation.

For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

יַעְלְז֣וּ חֲסִידִ֣ים בְּכָב֑וֹד יְ֝רַנְּנ֗וּ עַל־מִשְׁכְּבוֹתָֽם׃

Let the saints exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.

Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.

רוֹמְמ֣וֹת אֵ֭ל בִּגְרוֹנָ֑ם וְחֶ֖רֶב פִּֽיפִיּ֣וֹת בְּיָדָֽם׃

May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a double-edged sword in their hands,

Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;

לַעֲשׂ֣וֹת נְ֭קָמָה בַּגּוֹיִ֑ם תּֽ֝וֹכֵחֹ֗ת בַּל־אֻמִּֽים׃

to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,

To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;

לֶאְסֹ֣ר מַלְכֵיהֶ֣ם בְּזִקִּ֑ים וְ֝נִכְבְּדֵיהֶ֗ם בְּכַבְלֵ֥י בַרְזֶֽל׃

to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with shackles of iron,

To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

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

to execute the judgment written against them. This honor is for all His saints. Hallelujah!

To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
