Psalm 149

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹ Praise the Lord!
Sing to the Lord a new song,
    his praise in the assembly of the faithful.
² Let Israel be glad in its 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 victory.
⁵ Let the faithful exult in glory;
    let them sing for joy on their couches.
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 punishment on the peoples,
⁸ to bind their kings with fetters
    and their nobles with chains of iron,
⁹ to execute on them the judgement decreed.
    This is glory for all his faithful ones.
Praise the Lord!
