Psalm 149

Praise for God's Goodness to Israel

 1  Praise the LORD!
     Sing to the LORD a new song,
         his praise in the assembly of the faithful.
 2  Let Israel be glad in its 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 victory.
 5  Let the faithful exult in glory;
         let them sing for joy on their couches.
 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 punishment on the peoples,
 8  to bind their kings with fetters
         and their nobles with chains of iron,
 9  to execute on them the judgment decreed.
         This is glory for all his faithful ones.
     Praise the LORD!
