Psalm 149 | Liturgical Calendar

1

Praise the Lord. O sing unto the Lord a new song; *

let the congregation of the faithful praise him.

2

Let Israel rejoice in the one who made him, *

and let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

3

Let them praise his Name in the dance; *

let them sing praises unto him with timbrel and harp.

4

For the Lord has pleasure in his people *

and gives victory to those who are oppressed.

5

Let the faithful be joyful with glory; *

let them rejoice upon their beds.

6

Let the praises of God be in their mouth *

and a two-edged sword in their hands,

7

To inflict vengeance on the nations, *

and to rebuke the peoples,

8

To bind their kings in chains, *

and their nobles with links of iron,

9

That they may execute judgment upon them, as it is written; *

this is the honor of all his servants. Praise the Lord.
