Psalm 149

¹Praise ¹the Lord!

^aSing to the Lord a new song,

And His praise in the assembly of saints.

²Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;

Let the children of Zion be joyful in their ^bKing.

^3cLet them praise His name with the dance;

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

⁴For ^dthe Lord takes pleasure in His people;

^eHe will beautify the ²humble with salvation.

⁵Let the saints be joyful in glory;

Let them ^fsing aloud on their beds.

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

And ^ga two-edged sword in their hand,

⁷To execute vengeance on the nations,

And punishments on the peoples;

⁸To bind their kings with chains,

And their nobles with fetters of iron;

^9hTo execute on them the written judgment—

ⁱThis honor have all His saints.

³Praise the Lord!
