Psalms 149
Theme: A victory celebration. We have the assurance that God truly enjoys his people.
1Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints. +
2Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. +
3Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp. +
4For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation. +
5Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. +
6Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand; +
7To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
8To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
