1
Psalm 149
Praise the Lord.
Sing to the Lord a new song,
his praise in the assembly of the saints.
2
Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;
let the people of Zion be glad in their King.
3
Let them praise his name with dancing
and make music to him with tambourine and harp.
4
For the Lord takes delight in his people;
he crowns the humble with salvation.
5
Let the saints rejoice in this honor
and sing for joy on their beds.
6
May the praise of God be in their mouths
and a double-edged sword in their hands,
7
to inflict vengeance on the nations
and punishment on the peoples,
8
to bind their kings with fetters,
their nobles with shackles of iron,
9
to carry out the sentence written against them.
This is the glory of all his saints.
Praise the Lord.
