Psalm 149

Praise the LORD! Give him glory and sing a new song.

Praise the LORD with his saints in the worshipping throng.

To their Maker let Israèl joyfully sing;

Let the people of Zion be glad in their King.

Let his people with dancing give praise to his name,

As with harp and with timbrel their God they acclaim.

For the LORD in his people takes special delight,

And he crowns with salvation the meek in his sight.

Let the saints shout for joy at the grace he bestows;

Let them sing and rejoice while they take their repose.

May their mouths be employed in the praise of the LORD,

And their hands be equipped with a double-edged sword.

They will punish the nations and captive will bring

All the peoples of earth, every noble and king.

They will execute judgment commanded by God.

Thus his saints will be glorified. Worship the LORD!
