149:1 Hallelujah! Sing unto Jehovah a new song; [sing] his praise in the congregation of the godly.

149:2 Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.

149:4 For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people; he beautifieth the meek with salvation.

149:5 Let the godly exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.

149:6 Let the high praises of ∙God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand:

149:7 To execute vengeance against the nations, [and] punishment among the peoples;

149:8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
