Psalm 149

¹Praise the LORD!

Sing to the LORD a new song,

his praise in the assembly of the holy ones.

²Let Israel rejoice in him who made them.

Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

³Let them praise his name in the dance!

Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp!

⁴For the LORD takes pleasure in his people.

He crowns the humble with salvation [yeshu`ah

⁵Let the holy ones rejoice in honor.

Let them sing for joy on their beds.

⁶May the high praises of God be in their mouths,

and a two-edged sword in their hand,

⁷to execute vengeance on the nations,

and punishments on the peoples;

⁸to bind their kings with chains,

and their nobles with fetters of iron;

⁹to execute on them the written judgment.

All his holy ones have this honor.

Praise the LORD!
