Psalm 149

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

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

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

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

⁵Let the saints rejoice in honor. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

⁶May the high praises of God be in their mouths, 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. All his saints have this honor. Praise the LORD!
