Psalm 149

New International Version

from Biblica

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 tambourine 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 honour 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.
