Psalm 149

Revised Standard Version

149 Praise the Lord!
Sing to the Lord a new song,
    his praise in the assembly of the faithful!
² Let Israel be glad in his Maker,
    let the sons of Zion rejoice in their King!
³ Let them praise his name with dancing,
    making melody to him with timbrel and lyre!
⁴ For the Lord takes pleasure in his people;
    he adorns the humble with victory.
⁵ Let the faithful exult in glory;
    let them sing for joy on their couches.
⁶ Let the high praises of God be in their throats
    and two-edged swords in their hands,
⁷ to wreak vengeance on the nations
    and chastisement on the peoples,
⁸ to bind their kings with chains
    and their nobles with fetters of iron,
⁹ to execute on them the judgment written!
    This is glory for all his faithful ones.
Praise the Lord!
