Psalm - 149

picture

1 P raise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, praise Him in the assembly of His saints!

2 L et Israel rejoice in Him, their Maker; let Zion’s children triumph and be joyful in their King!

3 L et them praise His name in chorus and choir and with the dance; let them sing praises to Him with the tambourine and lyre!

4 F or the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation and adorn the wretched with victory.

5 L et the saints be joyful in the glory and beauty; let them sing for joy upon their beds.

6 L et the high praises of God be in their throats and a two-edged sword in their hands,

7 T o wreak vengeance upon the nations and chastisement upon the peoples,

8 T o bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron,

9 T o execute upon them the judgment written. He is the honor of all His saints. Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)
