Psalm 149

¹Praise the Lord.

Sing to the Lord a new song,

his praise in the assembly of his faithful people.

²Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;

let the people of Zion be glad in their King.

³Let them praise his name with dancing

and make music to him with timbrel and harp.

⁴For the Lord takes delight in his people;

he crowns the humble with victory.

⁵Let his faithful people rejoice in this honor

and sing for joy on their beds.

⁶May the praise of God be in their mouths

and a double-edged sword in their hands,

⁷to inflict vengeance on the nations

and punishment on the peoples,

⁸to bind their kings with fetters,

their nobles with shackles of iron,

⁹to carry out the sentence written against them—

this is the glory of all his faithful people.

Praise the Lord.
