Psalm 149 - English Standard Version 2016

Sing to the Lord a New Song

¹ Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of the godly!

² Let Israel be glad in his 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 salvation.

⁵ Let the godly exult in glory; let them sing for joy on their beds.

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 punishments 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 honor for all his godly ones. Praise the Lord!
