Psalm 149:1-9 Praise to God for His Salvation and Judgment
Psalm 149:1
1 Praise the Lord (Hebrew Hallelujah)!
Sing to the Lord a new song,
And His praise in the assembly of saints.
Psalm 149:2-4
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.
Psalm 149:5-9
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!
