149:1 Praise the Lord. Sing to the Lord a new song. Praise him in the assembly of the godly. 149:2 Let Israel rejoice in their Creator. Let the people of Zion delight in their King. 149:3 Let them praise his name with dancing. Let them sing praises to him to the accompaniment of the tambourine and harp. 149:4 For the Lord takes delight in his people; he exalts the oppressed by delivering them. 149:5 Let the godly rejoice because of their vindication. Let them shout for joy upon their beds. 149:6 May the praises of God be in their mouths and a two-edged sword in their hands, 149:7 in order to take revenge on the nations and punish foreigners. 149:8 The godly bind their enemies’ kings in chains and their nobles in iron shackles, 149:9 and execute the judgment to which their enemies have been sentenced. All his loyal followers will be vindicated. Praise the Lord.
