149:1 Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, And His praise in the congregation of the godly ones. |
149:2 Let Israel show gladness in his Maker; Let the sons of Zion rejoice in their King. |
149:3 Let them praise His name with dancing; Let them sing praises to Him with timbrel and lyre. |
149:4 For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the afflicted ones with salvation. |
149:5 Let the godly ones exult in glory; Let them sing for joy on their beds. |
149:6 Let the high praises of God resound in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand, |
149:7 To execute vengeance on the nations And punishment on the peoples, |
149:8 To bind their kings with chains And their nobles with fetters of iron, |
149:9 To execute on them the judgment written; This constitutes an honor for all His godly ones. Praise the LORD! |
