Tehillim 149

Orthodox Jewish Bible

149 Praise Hashem. Shiru l’Adonoi shir chadash (Sing unto Hashem a new song), and His praise in the Kahal Chasidim.

² Let Yisroel rejoice in Him that made him; let the Bnei Tziyon be glad in their Melech.

³ Let them praise Shmo in the dance; let them sing zemirot unto Him with the tambourine and kinnor.

⁴ For Hashem taketh pleasure in His people; He will crown the meek with Yeshuah (salvation).

⁵ Let the Chasidim be joyful in kavod; let them sing for joy upon their beds.

⁶ Let the high praises of G-d be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;

⁷ To execute vengeance upon the Goyim, and punishments upon the people;

⁸ To bind their melachim with chains, and their nobles with shackles of barzel (iron);

⁹ To execute upon them the mishpat katuv (written judgment); this honor have all His Chasidim. Hallelu Hashem.
