Psalms 149

Praise to God for His Salvation and Judgment¹Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, And His praise in the assembly of saints. ²Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. ³Let them praise His name with the dance; Let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp. ⁴For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation. ⁵Let the saints be joyful in glory; Let them sing aloud on their beds. ⁶Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand, ⁷To execute vengeance on the nations, And punishments on the peoples; ⁸To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron; ⁹To execute on them the written judgment— This honor have all His saints. Praise the Lord!
