Psalms 149
Psalm 149
1 Praise the Lord.[a](a)
Sing to the Lord a new song,(b)
his praise in the assembly(c) of his faithful people.
2 Let Israel rejoice(d) in their Maker;(e)
let the people of Zion be glad in their King.(f)
3 Let them praise his name with dancing(g)
and make music to him with timbrel and harp.(h)
4 For the Lord takes delight(i) in his people;
he crowns the humble with victory.(j)
5 Let his faithful people rejoice(k) in this honor
and sing for joy on their beds.(l)
6 May the praise of God be in their mouths(m)
and a double-edged(n) sword in their hands,(o)
7 to inflict vengeance(p) on the nations
and punishment(q) on the peoples,
8 to bind their kings with fetters,(r)
their nobles with shackles of iron,(s)
9 to carry out the sentence written against them—(t)
this is the glory of all his faithful people.(u)
Praise the Lord.
