Psalm 149

Psalm 149

Praise the Lord.^a

Sing to the Lord a new song,^b

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

Let Israel rejoice^d in their Maker;^e

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

Let them praise his name with dancing^g

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

For the Lord takes delightⁱ in his people;

he crowns the humble with victory.^j

Let his faithful people rejoice^k in this honor

and sing for joy on their beds.^l

May the praise of God be in their mouths^m

and a double-edgedⁿ sword in their hands,^o

to inflict vengeance^p on the nations

and punishment^q on the peoples,

to bind their kings with fetters,^r

their nobles with shackles of iron,^s

to carry out the sentence written against them—^t

this is the glory of all his faithful people.^u

Praise the Lord.
