Psalm 149

Praise for God’s Goodness to Israel

Praise the Lord!
Sing to the Lord a new song,
    his praise in the assembly of the faithful.(A)
Let Israel be glad in its Maker;
    let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.(B)
Let them praise his name with dancing,
    making melody to him with tambourine and lyre.(C)
For the Lord takes pleasure in his people;
    he adorns the humble with victory.(D)
Let the faithful exult in glory;
    let them sing for joy on their couches.(E)
Let the high praises of God be in their throats
    and two-edged swords in their hands,(F)
to execute vengeance on the nations
    and punishment on the peoples,
to bind their kings with fetters
    and their nobles with chains of iron,
to execute on them the judgment decreed.
    This is glory for all his faithful ones.
Praise the Lord!(G)

Psalm 150

Praise for God’s Surpassing Greatness

Praise the Lord!
Praise God in his sanctuary;
    praise him in his mighty firmament![a](H)
Praise him for his mighty deeds;
    praise him according to his surpassing greatness!(I)

Praise him with trumpet sound;
    praise him with lute and harp!(J)
Praise him with tambourine and dance;
    praise him with strings and pipe!(K)
Praise him with clanging cymbals;
    praise him with loud clashing cymbals!(L)
Let everything that breathes praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord!
