Chapter 149 :

Praise for God’s Goodness to Israel

1 Praise the LORD!

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

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

3 Let them praise his name with dancing,
making melody to him with tambourine 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 execute vengeance on the nations
and punishment on the peoples,

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

9 to execute on them the judgment decreed.
This is glory for all his faithful ones.

Praise the LORD!
