# Chapter 149
|
|
1 Praise the Lord!
|
|
Sing to the Lord a new song.
|
|
Sing his praises in the assembly of the faithful.
|
|
2 O Israel, rejoice in your Maker.
|
|
O people of Jerusalem, exult in your King.
|
|
3 Praise his name with dancing,
|
|
accompanied by tambourine and harp.
|
|
4 For the Lord delights in his people;
|
|
he crowns the humble with victory.
|
|
5 Let the faithful rejoice that he honors them.
|
|
Let them sing for joy as they lie on their beds.
|
|
6 Let the praises of God be in their mouths,
|
|
and a sharp sword in their hands—
|
|
7 to execute vengeance on the nations
|
|
and punishment on the peoples,
|
|
8 to bind their kings with shackles
|
|
and their leaders with iron chains,
|
|
9 to execute the judgment written against them.
|
|
This is the glorious privilege of his faithful ones.
|
|
Praise the Lord! |
