149
Context: Possible, reflection on God’s judgments at the Sea of Suf [Reed Sea] and after taking possession of the land of Canaan [Humbled]. (Gen 15:14-16; Ex 15:20-21; Joshua [Salvation Yah] 2:9-11; 1 Sam 15:1-3)
1 Praise Adonai !
Sing to Adonai a new song,
his tehilah ·praise song· in the assembly of the saints.
2 Let Israel [God prevails] rejoice in him who made them.
Let the children of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking] be joyful in their King.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance!
Let them sing zahmar ·musical praise· to him with tambourine and harp!
4 For Adonai takes pleasure in his people.
He crowns the humble with yishu'ah ·salvation·.
5 Let the saints rejoice in kavod ·weighty glory·.
Let them sing for joy on their beds.
6 May the high praises of God be in their mouths,
and a two-edged sword in their hand;
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 written judgment.
All his saints have this honor.
Halleluyah ·praise Yah·!
