<< Psalm 149 >> World English Bible

---

1 Praise Yahweh! Sing to Yahweh a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints.

2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

3 Let them praise his name in the dance! Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp!

4 For Yahweh takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.

5 Let the saints rejoice in honor. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

6 May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand;

7 To execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;

8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

9 to execute on them the written judgment. All his saints have this honor. Praise Yah!
