Psalm 149

New Living Translation NLT

1 Praise the LORD ! Sing to the LORD a new song. Sing his praises in the assembly of the faithful.

2 O Israel, rejoice in your Maker. O people of Jerusalem, exult in your King.

3 Praise his name with dancing, accompanied by tambourine and harp.

4 For the LORD delights in his people; he crowns the humble with victory.

5 Let the faithful rejoice that he honors them. Let them sing for joy as they lie on their beds.

6 Let the praises of God be in their mouths, and a sharp sword in their hands—

7 to execute vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,

8 to bind their kings with shackles and their leaders with iron chains,

9 to execute the judgment written against them. This is the glorious privilege of his faithful ones. Praise the LORD !

The Message Bible MSG

1 Hallelujah! Sing to God a brand-new song, praise him in the company of all who love him.

2 Let all Israel celebrate their Sovereign Creator, Zion's children exult in their King.

3 Let them praise his name in dance; strike up the band and make great music!

4 And why? Because God delights in his people, festoons plain folk with salvation garlands!

5 Let true lovers break out in praise, sing out from wherever they're sitting,

6 Shout the high praises of God, brandish their swords in the wild sword-dance -

7 A portent of vengeance on the God-defying nations, a signal that punishment's coming,

8 Their kings chained and hauled off to jail, their leaders behind bars for good,

9 The judgment on them carried out to the letter - and all who love God in the seat of honor! Hallelujah!
