Psalm 149:1-9 RSV

[1] Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the faithful! [2] Let Israel be glad in his Maker, let the sons of Zion rejoice in their King! [3] Let them praise his name with dancing, making melody to him with timbrel and lyre! [4] For the LORD takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with victory. [5] Let the faithful exult in glory; let them sing for joy on their couches. [6] Let the high praises of God be in their throats and two-edged swords in their hands, [7] to wreak vengeance on the nations and chastisement on the peoples, [8] to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with fetters of iron, [9] to execute on them the judgment written! This is glory for all his faithful ones. Praise the LORD!
