Psalms 149

Psalm 149 ESV

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