Psalm 149

Praise Him, All His People

Praise Him, All His People

Praise the Lord.[a]

The Church Triumphant

Sing to the Lord a new song.
Sing his praise in the congregation of his favored ones.
Let Israel rejoice in its Maker.
Let the people of Zion celebrate for their King.
Let them praise his name with dancing.
With hand drum and lyre let them make music to him.
For the Lord is pleased with his people.
He adorns the humble with salvation.
Let those he favors rejoice in honor.
Let them shout for joy on their beds.

The Church Militant

May high praise of God be in their throats,
and a two-edged sword in their hands,
to inflict vengeance on the nations
and punishments on the peoples,
to bind their kings with chains
and their nobles with iron shackles,
to carry out the judgment written against them.
This is the glory of all his favored people.
Praise the Lord.
