Psalm 149:1-9 ICB

[1] Praise the Lord! Sing a new song to the Lord. Sing his praise in the meeting of his people. [2] Let the Israelites be happy because of God, their Maker. Let the people of Jerusalem rejoice because of their King. [3] They should praise him with dancing. They should praise him with tambourines and harps. [4] The Lord is pleased with his people. He saves those who are not proud. [5] Let those who worship him rejoice in his glory. Let them sing for joy even in bed! [6] Let them shout his praise with their two-edged swords in their hands. [7] They will punish the nations. They will defeat the people. [8] They will put those kings in chains and those important men in iron bands. [9] They will punish them as God has written. God is honored by all who worship him. Praise the Lord!
