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