Psalm 149

Praise the Beloved!
Sing a joy-filled song praising
     the Blessed One among the people!
Be glad in the Creator,
     rejoice in Love Divine!

Praise the Divine Lover with dancing,
     with melodies and voice!
For the Beloved dwells within,
     journeying with us through all our lives,
leading us in truth and love.
The humble are adorned with honor;
     the faithful exult in glory,
          singing for You with thankful hearts!

With truth on our tongues,
     with gratitude as our friend,
We are in harmony with the universe,
     as we hold hands with all the people.
The chains of oppression are broken,
     the fetters of injustice unbound.
The real of Peace and Love shall reign!
     Glory abides with those who are faith-filled.
Praise the Beloved!
     All people on earth, welcome
          Love’s Companioning Presence
               who abides in your hearts!
