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!
