Psalm 149

English Standard Version

149 ^(A)Praise the Lord!
Sing to the Lord ^(B)a new song,
    his praise in ^(C)the assembly of the godly!
² Let Israel ^(D)be glad in ^(E)his Maker;
    let the children of Zion rejoice in their ^(F)King!
³ Let them praise his name with ^(G)dancing,
    making melody to him with ^(H)tambourine and ^(I)lyre!
⁴ For the Lord ^(J)takes pleasure in his people;
    he ^(K)adorns the humble with salvation.
⁵ Let the godly exult in glory;
    let them ^(L)sing for joy on their ^(M)beds.
⁶ Let ^(N)the high praises of God be in their throats
    and ^(O)two-edged swords in their hands,
⁷ to execute vengeance on the nations
    and punishments on the peoples,
⁸ to bind their kings with ^(P)chains
    and their nobles with fetters of iron,
⁹ to execute on them the judgment ^(Q)written!
    ^(R)This is honor for all his godly ones.
^(S)Praise the Lord!
