Psalms 149:1-5

¹Praise Yahweh! Sing a new song to Yahweh, praise him whenever his faithful people gather together!

²You Israeli people, be glad because of what God, who created you, has done for you! You people of Jerusalem, rejoice because of what God your king has done for you!

³Praise Yahweh by dancing, by beating/playing tambourines, and by playing harps to praise him!

⁴Yahweh is pleased with his people; he honors humble people by helping them to defeat their enemies.

⁵God's people should rejoice because they have won battles and they should sing joyfully all during the night!
