English Standard Version
Psalms 149
Sing to the Lord a New Song
1 (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!
