^1. Psalm 149

^1. Praise the LORD. [1] Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints.

^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 salvation.

^5. Let the saints rejoice in this honor 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 saints. Praise the LORD.
