Psalm 149:6-9

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁶Let the high praises of God be in their throats
    and two-edged swords in their hands,^(A)
⁷to execute vengeance on the nations
    and punishment on the peoples,
⁸to bind their kings with fetters
    and their nobles with chains of iron,
⁹to execute on them the judgment decreed.
    This is glory for all his faithful ones.
Praise the Lord!^(B)
