149:1 Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the faithful! |
149:2 Let Israel be glad in his Maker, let the sons of Zion rejoice in their King! |
149:3 Let them praise his name with dancing, making melody to him with timbrel and lyre! |
149:4 For the LORD takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with victory. |
149:5 Let the faithful exult in glory; let them sing for joy on their couches. |
149:6 Let the high praises of God be in their throats and two-edged swords in their hands, |
149:7 to wreak vengeance on the nations and chastisement 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 is glory for all his faithful ones. Praise the LORD! |
