Psalm 149

1 Praise the Lord.[a](A)

Sing to the Lord a new song,(B)
    his praise in the assembly(C) of his faithful people.

2 Let Israel rejoice(D) in their Maker;(E)
    let the people of Zion be glad in their King.(F)
3 Let them praise his name with dancing(G)
    and make music to him with timbrel and harp.(H)
4 For the Lord takes delight(I) in his people;
    he crowns the humble with victory.(J)
5 Let his faithful people rejoice(K) in this honor
    and sing for joy on their beds.(L)

6 May the praise of God be in their mouths(M)
    and a double-edged(N) sword in their hands,(O)
7 to inflict vengeance(P) on the nations
    and punishment(Q) on the peoples,
8 to bind their kings with fetters,(R)
    their nobles with shackles of iron,(S)
9 to carry out the sentence written against them—(T)
    this is the glory of all his faithful people.(U)

Praise the Lord.
