Psalms [Praises] 149:2-9

²Let Israel God prevails rejoice in him who made them. Let the children of Zion Mountain ridge, Marking be joyful in their King.

³Let them praise his name in the dance! Let them sing zahmar ·musical praise· to him with tambourine and harp!

⁴For Adonai takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with yishu'ah ·salvation·.

⁵Let the saints rejoice in kavod ·weighty glory·. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

⁶May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand;

⁷To execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;

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

⁹to execute on them the written judgment. All his saints have this honor. Halleluyah ·praise Yah·!
