Psalm
Chapters 149:2-8
New International Version Anglicized
2Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;let the people of Zion be glad in their King.
3Let them praise his name with dancingand make music to him with tambourine and harp.
4For the Lord takes delight in his people;he crowns the humble with victory.
5Let his faithful people rejoice in this honourand sing for joy on their beds.
6May the praise of God be in their mouthsand a double-edged sword in their hands,
7to inflict vengeance on the nationsand punishment on the peoples,
8to bind their kings with fetters,their nobles with shackles of iron,
