Psalm 149

¹Praise the LORD !

Sing to the LORD a new song;

sing God’s praise in the assembly of the faithful!

²Let Israel celebrate its maker;

let Zion’s children rejoice in their king!

³Let them praise God’s name with dance;

let them sing God’s praise with the drum and lyre!

⁴Because the LORD is pleased with his people,

God will beautify the poor with saving help.

⁵Let the faithful celebrate with glory;

let them shout for joy on their beds.

⁶Let the high praises of God be in their mouths

⁷to get revenge against the nations

⁸binding their rulers in chains

⁹achieving the justice

written against them.

That will be an honor for all God’s faithful people.

Praise the LORD !
