79.4 Praise The Lord In The Assembly

(Psalm 149)

Praise the Lord!

Sing a new song to the Lord;
praise him in the assembly of his faithful people!
Be glad, Israel,because of your Creator;
rejoice, people of Zion, because of your king!
Praise his name with dancing;
play drums and harps in praise of him.

The Lord takes pleasure in his people;
he honors the humble with victory.
Let God's people rejoice in their triumph
and sing joyfully all night long.
Let them shout aloud as they praise God,
with their sharp swords in their hands
to defeat the nations and to punish the peoples;
to bind their kings in chains,
their leaders in chains of iron;
to punish the nations as God has commanded.
This is the victory of God's people.

Praise the Lord!
