Psalm 149


Praise to God for His Salvation and Judgment

Praise1 the Lord!


aSing to the Lord a new song,
And His praise in the assembly of saints.


2
Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;
Let the children of Zion be joyful in their aKing.

3
aLet them praise His name with the dance;
Let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp.

4
For athe Lord takes pleasure in His people;
bHe will beautify the 1humble with salvation.


5
Let the saints be joyful in glory;
Let them asing aloud on their beds.

6
Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,
And aa two‑edged sword in their hand,

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
aTo execute on them the written judgment—
bThis honor have all His saints.


1Praise the Lord!
