Psalm 149

Praise Him, All His People

¹Praise the Lord .[#149:1 Hebrew]

Sing to the Lord a new song.

Sing his praise in the congregation of his favored ones.

²Let Israel rejoice in its Maker.

Let the people of Zion celebrate for their King.

³Let them praise his name with dancing.

With hand drum and lyre let them make music to him.

⁴For the Lord is pleased with his people.

He adorns the humble with salvation.

⁵Let those he favors rejoice in honor.

Let them shout for joy on their beds.

⁶May high praise of God be in their throats

and a two-edged sword in their hands,

⁷to inflict vengeance on the nations

and punishments on the peoples,

⁸to bind their kings with chains

and their nobles with iron shackles,

⁹to carry out the judgment written against them.

This is the glory of all his favored people.

Praise the Lord !
