Psalm 149

 

 

1                    Praise the LORD.[a]  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 to 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.
