Psalm 149 | Liturgical Calendar

1

Hallelujah!

Sing to the Lord a new song; *

sing his praise in the congregation of the faithful.

2

Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; *

let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

3

Let them praise his Name in the dance; *

let them sing praise to him with timbrel and harp.

4

For the Lord takes pleasure in his people *

and adorns the poor with victory.

5

Let the faithful rejoice in triumph; *

let them be joyful on their beds.

6

Let the praises of God be in their throat *

and a two-edged sword in their hand;

7

To wreak vengeance on the nations *

and punishment on the peoples;

8

To bind their kings in chains *

and their nobles with links of iron;

9

To inflict on them the judgment decreed; *

this is glory for all his faithful people.

Hallelujah!
