Psalm 149

Praise for God’s Goodness to Israel

1 Praise the Lord!
Sing to the Lord a new song,
    his praise in the assembly of the faithful.(A)
2 Let Israel be glad in its Maker;
    let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.(B)
3 Let them praise his name with dancing,
    making melody to him with tambourine and lyre.(C)
4 For the Lord takes pleasure in his people;
    he adorns the humble with victory.(D)
5 Let the faithful exult in glory;
    let them sing for joy on their couches.(E)
6 Let the high praises of God be in their throats
    and two-edged swords in their hands,(F)
7 to execute vengeance on the nations
    and punishment on the peoples,
8 to bind their kings with fetters
    and their nobles with chains of iron,
9 to execute on them the judgment decreed.
    This is glory for all his faithful ones.
Praise the Lord!(G)
