Psalms 149 / 150
- 1
(Sing to the Lord a New Song)
Praise the Lord!
Sing to the Lord a new song,
his praise in the assembly of the godly!
- 2
Let Israel be glad in his Maker;
let the children of Zion rejoice in their King!
- 3
Let them praise his name with dancing,
making melody to him with tambourine and lyre!
- 4
For the Lord takes pleasure in his people;
he adorns the humble with salvation.
- 5
Let the godly exult in glory;
let them sing for joy on their beds.
- 6
Let the high praises of God be in their throats
and two-edged swords in their hands,
- 7
to execute vengeance on the nations
and punishments on the peoples,
- 8
to bind their kings with chains
and their nobles with fetters of iron,
- 9
to execute on them the judgment written!
This is honor for all his godly ones.
Praise the Lord!
