Psaumes 149.1
English standard version

Louange à Dieu pour ses jugements

¹ Praise the Lord!
Sing to the Lord a new song,
his praise in the assembly of the godly!
² Let Israel be glad in his Maker;
let the children of Zion rejoice in their King!
³ Let them praise his name with dancing,
making melody to him with tambourine and lyre!
⁴ For the Lord takes pleasure in his people;
he adorns the humble with salvation.
⁵ Let the godly exult in glory;
let them sing for joy on their beds.
⁶ Let the high praises of God be in their throats
and two-edged swords in their hands,
⁷ to execute vengeance on the nations
and punishments on the peoples,
⁸ to bind their kings with chains
and their nobles with fetters of iron,
⁹ to execute on them the judgment written!
This is honor for all his godly ones.
Praise the Lord!
