‹ Chapter 148 Psalms — All Chapters Chapter 150 ›

1 Praise Jehovah! Sing to Jehovah a new song, His praise in the assembly of the saints. 2 Let Israel rejoice in His Makers; let the sons of Zion be joyful in their Kings. 3 Let them praise His name in the dance; let them sing praise to Him with the timbrel and lyre. 4 For Jehovah takes pleasure in His people; He beautifies the meek with salvation. 5 Let the saints be joyful in glory; let them sing aloud on their beds. 6 Let the exaltation of God be in their throat, and a two-edged sword in their hand, 7 to execute vengeance on the nations, punishment on the peoples; 8 to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with iron bands; 9 to execute on them the judgment written; this is an honor for all His saints. Praise Jehovah!
