Psalm 149

Sing to the Lord a New Song

1  Praise the Lord!
Sing to the Lord a new song,
his praise in the assembly of the godly!
2  Let Israel be glad in his Maker;
let the children of Zion rejoice in their King!
3  Let them praise his name with dancing,
making melody to him with tambourine and lyre!
4  For the Lord takes pleasure in his people;
he adorns the humble with salvation.
5  Let the godly exult in glory;
let them sing for joy on their beds.
6  Let the high praises of God be in their throats
and two-edged swords in their hands,
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  to execute on them the judgment written!
This is honor for all his godly ones.
Praise the Lord!

Psalm 149

1 Praise ye Jehovah. Sing unto Jehovah a new song, And his praise in the assembly of the saints.

2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

3 Let them praise his name in the dance: Let them sing praises unto him with timbrel and harp.

4 For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people: He will beautify the meek with salvation.

5 Let the saints exult in glory: Let them sing for joy upon their beds.

6  Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand;

7 To execute vengeance upon the nations, And punishments upon the peoples;

8 To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron;

9 To execute upon them the judgment written: This honor have all his saints. Praise ye Jehovah.
