Psalms 149

Sing to the LORD a New Song

1  Hallelujah!*
Sing to the LORD a new song —
His praise in the assembly of the godly.
2  Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;
let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.
3  Let them praise His name with dancing,
and make music to Him with tambourine and harp.
4  For the LORD takes pleasure in His people;
He adorns the afflicted with salvation.
5  Let the saints exult in glory;
let them shout for joy upon their beds.
6  May the high praises of God be in their mouths,
and a double-edged sword in their hands,
7  to inflict vengeance on the nations
and punishment on the peoples,
8  to bind their kings with chains
and their nobles with shackles of iron,
9  to execute the judgment written against them.
This honor is for all His saints.
Hallelujah!
