Psalm 149

Psalm 149

¹Praise the Lord.^ao

Sing to the Lord a new song,^p

his praise in the assembly^q of his faithful people.

²Let Israel rejoice^r in their Maker;^s

let the people of Zion be glad in their King.^t

³Let them praise his name with dancing^u

and make music to him with timbrel and harp.^v

⁴For the Lord takes delight^w in his people;

he crowns the humble with victory.^x

⁵Let his faithful people rejoice^y in this honor

and sing for joy on their beds.^z

⁶May the praise of God be in their mouths^a

and a double-edged^b sword in their hands,^c

⁷to inflict vengeance^d on the nations

and punishment^e on the peoples,

⁸to bind their kings with fetters,^f

their nobles with shackles of iron,^g

⁹to carry out the sentence written against them—^h

this is the glory of all his faithful people.ⁱ

Praise the Lord.
