Psalm 149

¹Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD a new song — His praise in the assembly of the godly.

²Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.

³Let them praise His name with dancing, and make music to Him with tambourine and harp.

⁴For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He adorns the afflicted with salvation.

⁵Let the saints exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.

⁶May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a double-edged sword in their hands,

⁷to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,

⁸to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with shackles of iron,

⁹to execute the judgment written [against them]. This honor is for all His saints. Hallelujah!
