Psalms 149-150

Psalm 149

¹Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD a new song— His praise in the assembly of the godly.

²Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.

³Let them praise His name with dancing, and make music to Him with tambourine and harp.

⁴For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He adorns the afflicted with salvation.

⁵Let the saints exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.

⁶May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a double-edged sword in their hands,

⁷to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,

⁸to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with shackles of iron,

⁹to execute the judgment written against them. This honor is for all His saints. Hallelujah!

Psalm 150

¹Hallelujah! Praise God in His sanctuary. Praise Him in His mighty heavens.

²Praise Him for His mighty acts; praise Him for His excellent greatness.

³Praise Him with the sound of the horn; praise Him with the harp and lyre.

⁴Praise Him with tambourine and dancing; praise Him with strings and flute.

⁵Praise Him with clashing cymbals; praise Him with resounding cymbals.

⁶Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! Hallelujah!
