Psalm 149 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Israel Invoked to Praise the LORD.

Psa 149:1

[fn]Praise [fn]the LORD!

Sing a new song to the LORD,

And His praise in the congregation of the godly ones.

Psa 149:2

Israel shall be joyful in his Maker;

The sons of Zion shall rejoice in their King.

Psa 149:3

They shall praise His name with dancing;

They shall sing praises to Him with tambourine and lyre.

Psa 149:4

For the LORD takes pleasure in His people;

He will glorify the lowly with salvation.

Psa 149:5

The godly ones shall be jubilant in glory;

They shall sing for joy on their beds.

Psa 149:6

The high praises of God shall be in their [fn]mouths,

And a two-edged sword in their hands,

Psa 149:7

To execute vengeance on the nations,

And punishment on the peoples,

Psa 149:8

To bind their kings with chains,

And their dignitaries with shackles of iron,

Psa 149:9

To execute against them the judgment written.

This is an honor for all His godly ones.

[fn]Praise [fn]the LORD!
