Psalm 149

1. O praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, and His praise in the congregation of saints.

2. Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

3. Let them praise His name in the dance; let them sing praises to Him with the drum and lyre,

4. For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He crowns the meek with salvation.

5. Let the saints be joyful in glory; let them sing aloud 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 people,

8. To bind their kings with chains and their nobles with iron bands,

9. To carry out upon them the judgment written—this honor have all His saints. O praise the LORD!
