Listen from:
Hallelu-Jah. Sing unto Jehovah a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.
Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud s upon their beds.
Let the high praises of El be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;
To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
To execute upon them the judgment written: this honor have all his saints. Hallelu-Jah.
149:1 Praise ye Jah. Praise Jehovah in the congregation of Israel; 2 let Israel rejoice in his maker, Zion in their king, 3 with dance and music, 4 for Jehovah takes pleasure in them; 5, 6 let them joy; 6½-9 invested with retributive power against the heathen. Praise ye Jah.
