Psalm 149Common English Bible (CEB) Psalm 149 149 Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song;     sing God’s praise in the assembly of the faithful! 2 Let Israel celebrate its maker;     let Zion’s children rejoice in their king! 3 Let them praise God’s name with dance;     let them sing God’s praise with the drum and lyre! 4 Because the Lord is pleased with his people,     God will beautify the poor with saving help. 5 Let the faithful celebrate with glory;     let them shout for joy on their beds.[a] 6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouths         and a double-edged sword in their hands, 7     to get revenge against the nations         and punishment on the peoples, 8     binding their rulers in chains         and their officials in iron shackles, 9     achieving the justice     written against them. That will be an honor for all God’s faithful people. Praise the Lord! Footnotes: Psalm 149:5 Heb uncertain Common English Bible (CEB), used with permission Copyright © 2011 by Common English Bible
