Psalm 149

Praise to God for His Salvation and Judgment

1 Praise 1the Lord!

aSing 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 bKing.

3 cLet them praise His name with the dance;

Let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp.

4 For dthe Lord takes pleasure in His people;

eHe will beautify the 2humble with salvation.

5 Let the saints be joyful in glory;

Let them fsing aloud on their beds.

6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,

And ga 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 hTo execute on them the written judgment—

iThis honor have all His saints.

3Praise the Lord!
