Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.
Darby Translation
Psalms 149
1Hallelujah! Sing unto Jehovah a new song; [sing] his praise in the congregation of thegodly. 2Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King. 3Let them praise his name in the dance; let them sing psalms unto him with the tambour and harp. 4For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people; he beautifieth the meek with salvation. 5Let thegodly exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds. 6Let the high praises ofGod be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand: 7To execute vengeance against the nations, [and] punishment among the peoples; 8To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; 9To execute upon them the judgment written. This honour have all his saints. Hallelujah!
