المزامير 149

1Hallelujah.Sing to GOD a new song,sing praises in the congregation of the faithful.

2Let Israel rejoice in its maker;let the children of Zion exult in their monarch.

3Let them praise God’s name in dance;with hand-drum and lyre let them chant such praises.

4For GOD delights in this people,and adorns the lowly with victory.

5Let the faithful exult in glory;let them shout for joy upon their couches,

6with paeans to God in their throatsand two-edged swords in their hands,

7to impose retribution upon the nations,punishment upon the peoples,

8binding their kings with shackles,their nobles with chains of iron,

9executing the doom decreed against them.This is the glory of all the faithful.Hallelujah.
