Psalms 149
Chapter 149 of 150
1 Praise God with Song and Sword. Hallelujah! Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of the faithful.
2 Let Israel be glad in its maker, the people of Zion rejoice in their king.
3 Let them praise his name in dance, make music with tambourine and lyre.
4 For the Lord takes delight in his people, honors the poor with victory.
5 Let the faithful rejoice in their glory, cry out for joy on their couches,
6 With the praise of God in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hands,
7 To bring retribution on the nations, punishment on the peoples,
8 To bind their kings in shackles, their nobles in chains of iron,
9 To execute the judgments decreed for them— such is the glory of all God’s faithful. Hallelujah!
