Psalm 149

New International Version (NIV)


Psalm 149



1
Praise the Lord.


Sing to the Lord a new song,
his praise in the assembly of his faithful people.



2
Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;
let the people of Zion be glad in their King.

3
Let them praise his name with dancing
and make music to him with timbrel and harp.

4
For the Lord takes delight in his people;
he crowns the humble with victory.

5
Let his faithful people rejoice in this honor
and sing for joy on their beds.



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

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

8
to bind their kings with fetters,
their nobles with shackles of iron,

9
to carry out the sentence written against them—
this is the glory of all his faithful people.


Praise the Lord.
