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

[149:2]  ² sn The Lord is the king here, as the parallelism in the previous line (“their creator”) indicates.
