Psalm 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!
