[149:1] Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of the godly!
[149:2] Let Israel be glad in his Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King!
[149:3] Let them praise his name with dancing, making melody to him with tambourine and lyre!
[149:4] For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with salvation.
[149:5] Let the godly exult in glory; let them sing for joy on their beds.
[149:6] Let the high praises of God be in their throats and two-edged swords in their hands,
[149:7] to execute vengeance on the nations and punishments on the peoples,
[149:8] to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with fetters of iron,
[149:9] to execute on them the judgment written! This is honor for all his godly ones. Praise the Lord!
