Yahweh Takes Pleasure in His People

149¹Praise Yah!Sing to Yahweh a ^anew song,His praise ^bin the assembly of the holy ones.²Let Israel be glad in ^ahis Maker;Let the sons of Zion rejoice in their ^bKing.³Let them praise His name with ^adancing;With ^btambourine and lyre let them sing praises to Him.⁴For Yahweh ^atakes pleasure in His people;He will ^bbeautify the afflicted ones with salvation.⁵Let the ^aholy ones exult in glory;Let them ^bsing for joy on their beds.⁶Let the ^aexaltations of God be in their throats,And a ^btwo-edged ^csword in their hand,⁷To ^aexecute vengeance on the nationsAnd punishments on the peoples,⁸To bind their kings ^awith chainsAnd their ^bhonored men with fetters of iron,⁹To ^aexecute on them the judgment written;This is the ^bmajesty of all His holy ones.¹Praise Yah!
