Psalm 149
1 Praise
the LORD!
Sing to the
LORD a new
song,
his praise in
the assembly of
the saints.
2 Let
Israel rejoice in
him who made
them.
Let the children
of Zion be
joyful in their
King.
3 Let them
praise his name
in the dance!
Let them sing praises
to him with
tambourine and
harp!
4 For
the LORD takes
pleasure in his
people.
He crowns the
humble with
salvation.
5 Let the
saints rejoice in
honor.
Let them sing for
joy on their
beds.
6 May
the high praises
of God be
in their mouths,
and a two-edged
sword in their
hand,
7 to
execute vengeance
on the nations,
and punishments
on the peoples;
8 to bind
their kings with
chains,
and their nobles
with fetters of
iron;
9 to
execute on them
the written
judgment.
All his saints
have this honor.
Praise the
LORD!
