Psalm 149

Cantate Domino

The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 9 verses

  1. 1

    Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD a new song; *
    sing his praise in the congregation of the faithful.

  2. 2

    Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; *
    let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

  3. 3

    Let them praise his Name in the dance; *
    let them sing praise to him with timbrel and harp.

  4. 4

    For the LORD takes pleasure in his people *
    and adorns the poor with victory.

  5. 5

    Let the faithful rejoice in triumph; *
    let them be joyful on their beds.

  6. 6

    Let the praises of God be in their throat *
    and a two-edged sword in their hand;

  7. 7

    To wreak vengeance on the nations *
    and punishment on the peoples;

  8. 8

    To bind their kings in chains *
    and their nobles with links of iron;

  9. 9

    To inflict on them the judgment decreed; *
    this is glory for all his faithful people. Hallelujah!
