Psalm 149:1-9 GNT

[1] Praise the LORD! Sing a new song to the LORD; praise him in the assembly of his faithful people! [2] Be glad, Israel, because of your Creator; rejoice, people of Zion, because of your king! [3] Praise his name with dancing; play drums and harps in praise of him. [4] The LORD takes pleasure in his people; he honors the humble with victory. [5] Let 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 [7] to defeat the nations and to punish the peoples; [8] to bind their kings in chains, their leaders in chains of iron; [9] to punish the nations as God has commanded. This is the victory of God's people. Praise the LORD!
