Psalm 149 The faithful praise their God with songs and musical instruments

 Psalm 149

The faithful praise their God with songs and musical instruments

1 Praise the Lord. Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints.

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

3 Let them praise his name with flute; let them sing his praise with timbrel and harp.

4 For the Lord delights in his people; he will adorn the meek with salvation.

5 Let the saints rejoice in glory; let them sing for joy on their beds.

6 Let the high praises of God be in their throats, and a two-edged sword in their hands.

7 To take vengeance on the nations, and to rebuke the peoples.

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

9 To execute upon them the judgment written; this honor will be given to all the saints. Praise the Lord.
