Psalm 149

Praise to God for His Salvation and Judgment

1. Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, And His praise in the assembly of saints.

2. Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

3. Let them praise His name with the dance; Let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp.

4. For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation.

5. Let the saints be joyful in glory; Let them sing aloud on their beds.

6. Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, 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— This honor have all His saints. Praise the Lord!
