Psalms Chapter 149

1 Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song. Sing his praises in the assembly of the faithful.

2 O Israel, rejoice in your Maker. O people of Jerusalem, exult in your King.

3 Praise his name with dancing, accompanied by tambourine and harp.

4 For the LORD delights in his people; he crowns the humble with victory.

Psalms Chapter 149

5 Let the faithful rejoice that he honors them. Let them sing for joy as they lie on their beds.

6 Let the praises of God be in their mouths, and a sharp sword in their hands--

7 to execute vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,

8 to bind their kings with shackles and their leaders with iron chains,

Psalms Chapter 149

9 to execute the judgment written against them. This is the glorious privilege of his faithful ones. Praise the LORD!
