Psalm 149
1
Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of the faithful.
2
Let Israel be glad in its Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.
3
Let them praise his name with dancing, making melody to him with tambourine and lyre.
4
For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with victory.
5
Let the faithful exult in glory; let them sing for joy on their couches.
6
Let the high praises of God be in their throats and two-edged swords in their hands,
7
to execute vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,
8
to bind their kings with fetters and their nobles with chains of iron,
9
to execute on them the judgment decreed. This is glory for all his faithful ones. Praise the Lord!
