Psalm 149

Psalm 149 (Amplified Bible)

Psalm 149

 ¹PRAISE THE Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, praise Him in the assembly of His saints!     ²Let Israel rejoice in Him, their Maker; let Zion's children triumph and be joyful in their King!^{(A)
    3}Let them praise His name in chorus and choir and with the [single or group] dance; let them sing praises to Him with the tambourine and lyre!
    ⁴For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation and adorn the wretched with victory.
    ⁵Let the saints be joyful in the glory and beauty [which God confers upon them]; let them sing for joy upon their beds.
    ⁶Let the high praises of God be in their throats and a two-edged sword in their hands,^{(B)
    7}To wreak vengeance upon the nations and chastisement upon the peoples,
    ⁸To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron,
    ⁹To execute upon them the judgment written. He [the Lord] is the honor of all His saints. Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)
