Psalm 149

Translated by James Anderson

Hallelujah

1 Sing ye to Jehovah a song that is new: His praise is in the assembly of the merciful ones.

2 Rejoice let Israel in his Maker; Let the children of Zion exult in their king:

3 Let them praise his name on the pipe: On the timbrel and the harp let them sing psalms to him.

4 For taken pleasure hath Jehovah in his people: He will glorify the poor ones unto salvation.

5 Exult let the merciful ones in glory; Let them shout with joy on their couches.

6 The exaltations of God are in their mouth, And a sword of two edges in their hand;

7 To execute vengeance on the heathen, Chastisements on the nations:

8 To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron:

9 To execute upon them the judgment written. This honor is to all his merciful ones. Hallelujah.

Psalm 150

Hallelujah

1 Praise God in his sanctuary; Praise him in the firmament of his power.

2 Praise him in his might; Praise him for the multitude of his greatness:

3 Praise him with sound of trumpet; Praise him with nablum and harp.

4 Praise him with timbrel and pipe; Praise him with strings and organ.

5 Praise him with cymbals of sound; Praise him with cymbals of shouting.

6 Let every thing that breatheth praise God. Hallelujah.
