Psalm 149
Good News Translation

A Hymn of Praise

1Praise the Lord!

Sing a new song to the Lord;

praise him in the assembly of his faithful people!

2Be glad, Israel, because of your Creator;

rejoice, people of Zion, because of your king!

3Praise his name with dancing;

play drums and harps in praise of him.

4The Lord takes pleasure in his people;

he honors the humble with victory.

5Let God's people rejoice in their triumph

and sing joyfully all night long.

6 Let them shout aloud as they praise God,

with their sharp swords in their hands

7to defeat the nations

and to punish the peoples;

8to bind their kings in chains,

their leaders in chains of iron;

9to punish the nations as God has commanded.

This is the victory of God's people.

Praise the Lord!
