Psalm 149

Praise to God for His Salvation and Judgment

Praise^a the LORD!

Sing 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 King.

³Let them praise His name with the dance;

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

⁴For the LORD takes pleasure in His people;

He will beautify the ^bhumble with salvation.

⁵Let the saints be joyful in glory;

Let them sing aloud on their beds.

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

And a 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;

⁹To execute on them the written judgment—

This honor have all His saints.

^cPraise the LORD!
