Psalms 149

149:1 Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints.

149:2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

149:3 Let them praise his name in the dance! Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp!

149:4 For the LORD takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.

149:5 Let the saints rejoice in honour. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

149:6 May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand,

149:7 to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;

149:8 to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

149:9 to execute on them the written judgement. All his saints have this honour. Praise the LORD!
