USCCB - NAB - Psalm 149

USCCB - NAB - Psalm 149

Psalms
Chapter 149
1
1 Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD a new song, a hymn in the assembly of the faithful.
2
Let Israel be glad in their maker, the people of Zion rejoice in their king.
3
2 Let them praise his name in festive dance, make music with tambourine and lyre.
4
For the LORD takes delight in his people, honors the poor with victory.
5
3 Let the faithful rejoice in their glory, cry out for joy at their banquet,
6
With the praise of God in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hands,
7
To bring retribution on the nations, punishment on the peoples,
8
To bind their kings with chains, shackle their nobles with irons,
9
4 To execute the judgments decreed for them-- such is the glory of all God's faithful. Hallelujah!
