Psalm 149 (New King James Version)

Psalm 149

Praise to God for His Salvation and Judgment

 ¹ Praise the LORD!
         
         Sing to the LORD a new song,
         And His praise in the assembly of saints.
         
 ² Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;
         Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
 ³ Let them praise His name with the dance;
         Let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp.
 ⁴ For the LORD takes pleasure in His people;
         He will beautify the humble with salvation.
         
 ⁵ Let the saints be joyful in glory;
         Let them sing aloud on 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 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 written judgment—
         This honor have all His saints.
         
         Praise the LORD!
