Psalms 149 (NIV11)
1 Praise the LORD. Sing to the LORD a new song,his praise in the assembly of his faithful people. 2 Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;let the people of Zion be glad in their King. 3 Let them praise his name with dancingand make music to him with timbrel and harp. 4 For the LORD takes delight in his people;he crowns the humble with victory. 5 Let his faithful people rejoice in this honorand sing for joy on their beds. 6 May the praise of God be in their mouthsand a double-edged sword in their hands, 7 to inflict vengeance on the nationsand punishment on the peoples, 8 to bind their kings with fetters,their nobles with shackles of iron, 9 to carry out the sentence written against them—this is the glory of all his faithful people. Praise the LORD.
