Psalm 149 - New International Version (Anglicised)

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 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.
