Psalm 149 - ESV Online - Literal Word

PSALM 149

Sing to the Lord a New Song

149:1

Praise the Lord!

Sing to the Lord a new song,

his praise in the assembly of the godly! 2

Let Israel be glad in his Maker;

let the children of Zion rejoice in their King! 3

Let them praise his name with dancing,

making melody to him with tambourine and lyre! 4

For the Lord takes pleasure in his people;

he adorns the humble with salvation. 5

Let the godly exult in glory;

let them sing for joy on their beds. 6

Let the high praises of God be in their throats

and two-edged swords in their hands, 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 judgment written!

This is honor for all his godly ones.

Praise the Lord!
