149:1 O praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, and His praise in the congregation of saints. |
149:2 Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. |
149:3 Let them praise His name in the dance; let them sing praises to Him with the drum and lyre, |
149:4 For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He crowns the meek with salvation. |
149:5 Let the saints be joyful in glory; let them sing aloud upon their beds. |
149:6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand |
149:7 To execute vengeance upon the nations and punishments upon the people, |
149:8 To bind their kings with chains and their nobles with iron bands, |
149:9 To carry out upon them the judgment written—this honor have all His saints. O praise the LORD! |
