Psalms 149:2-4

149:2 Let Israel rejoice in their Creator!

Let the people 1  of Zion delight in their king! 2 

149:3 Let them praise his name with dancing!

Let them sing praises to him to the accompaniment of the tambourine and harp!

149:4 For the Lord takes delight in his people;

he exalts the oppressed by delivering them. 3 

1 tn Heb “sons.”

2 sn The Lord is the king here, as the parallelism in the previous line (“their creator”) indicates.

3 tn Heb “he honors the oppressed [with] deliverance.”
