A Call to Praise God

149 Praise the Lord! Sing a new song to the Lord! Praise Him in the meeting of His people. Let Israel be glad in his Maker. Let the sons of Zion be full of joy in their King. Let them praise His name with dancing. Let them sing praises to Him with timbrels and a harp. For the Lord is happy with His people. He saves those who have no pride and makes them beautiful.

Let those who are God-like be full of joy and honor. Let them sing for joy on their beds. Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and in their hand a sword that cuts both ways. Let it be used to punish the nations and the people. Let their kings be tied in chains, and their rulers with ropes of iron. Let the punishment that is written be given to them. This is an honor for all His faithful ones. Praise the Lord!
