Praise with Singing and Dancing

Psalm 149

Halleluyah! Sing to Adonai a new song,
His praise in the assembly of the kedoshim.
Let Israel rejoice in its Maker.
Let the children of Zion be glad in their King.
Let them praise His Name with dancing.
Let them sing praises to Him with tambourine and harp.
For Adonai takes pleasure in His people.
He crowns the humble with salvation.
Let the kedoshim exult in glory.
Let them sing for joy on their beds.
Let God’s high praises be in their mouth
and a two-edged sword in their hand—
to execute vengeance upon the nations
    and rebukes on the peoples,
to bind their kings with chains
    and their nobles with fetters of iron,
to carry out the sentence decreed—
    this is the glory of all His kedoshim.
Halleluyah!

May the praise of God be in their mouths(M)
    and a double-edged(N) sword in their hands,(O)

    their nobles with shackles of iron,(S)
to carry out the sentence written against them—(T)
    this is the glory of all his faithful people.(U)
