Psalms 149
Israel Invoked to Praise the LORD.
1 (F1)Praise (F2)the LORD!
Sing a (C1)new song to the LORD,
And His praise (C2)in the congregation of the godly ones.
2 Israel shall be joyful in (C1)his Maker;
The sons of Zion shall rejoice in their (C2)King.
3 They shall praise His name with (C1)dancing;
They shall sing praises to Him with (C2)tambourine and lyre.
4 For the LORD (C1)takes pleasure in His people;
He will (C2)glorify the lowly with salvation.
5 The (C1)godly ones shall be jubilant in glory;
They shall (C2)sing for joy on their beds.
6 The (C1)high praises of God shall be in their (F1)mouths,
And a (C2)two-edged (C3)sword in their hands,
7 To (C1)execute vengeance on the nations,
And punishment on the peoples,
8 To bind their kings (C1)with chains,
And their (C2)dignitaries with shackles of iron,
9 To (C1)execute against them the judgment written.
This is an (C2)honor for all His godly ones.
(F1)Praise (F2)the LORD!
