Psalm 149

New Coverdale Version

Praise the Lord. O sing unto the Lord a new song; * let the congregation of the faithful praise him.

Let Israel rejoice in the one who made him, * and let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

Let them praise his Name in the dance; * let them sing praises unto him with timbrel and harp.

For the Lord has pleasure in his people * and gives victory to those who are oppressed.

Let the faithful be joyful with glory; * let them rejoice upon their beds.

Let the praises of God be in their mouth * and a two-edged sword in their hands,

To inflict vengeance on the nations, * and to rebuke the peoples,

To bind their kings in chains, * and their nobles with links of iron,

That they may execute judgment upon them, as it is written; * this is the honor of all his servants. Praise the Lord.
