Tehillim - Psalms - Chapter 149

Chapter 149

1. Hallelujah! Sing to the Lord a new song; His praise is in the congregation of the pious.		א.
2. Israel will rejoice with its Maker; the children of Zion will exult with their King.		ב.
3. They will praise His name in dance; with timbrel and harp they will play music to Him.		ג.
4. For the Lord takes delight in His people; He lauds the humble with salvation.		ד.
5. The pious will exult in glory; they will sing praises on their beds.		ה.
6. Lofty praises of God in their throats and a double-edged sword in their hands,		ו.
Lofty praises of God in their throats: and they will be for them a double-edged sword.		:
7. To wreak vengeance upon the nations, contentions upon the kingdoms.		ז.
8. To bind their kings with chains and their nobles with fetters of iron.		ח.
with chains: Heb. בזקים, chains.		:
9. To execute upon them a written judgment; that will be splendor to all His pious ones. Hallelujah!		ט.
a written judgment: (Ezek. 2:14) “And I shall lay My vengeance, etc.” If you ask [challenge] that Ezekiel was not yet born when David said this, [I will answer that] David prophesied about the end of the redemption, and when the end comes, the judgment will have been written for a long time.		:
