# Psalm 149 (New King James Version)
Praise to God for His Salvation and Judgment

##### Chapter 149
###### 1 Praise the Lord!
Sing to the Lord a new song,  
_And_ His praise in the assembly of saints.

###### 2 Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;  
Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.  

###### 3 Let them praise His name with the dance;  
Let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp.  

###### 4 For the Lord takes pleasure in His people;  
He will beautify the humble with salvation.

###### 5 Let the saints be joyful in glory;  
Let them sing aloud on their beds.  

###### 6 _Let_ the high praises of God _be_ in their mouth,  
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--  
This honor have all His saints.
Praise the Lord!
