Psalms of David - Modern Translation - Psalm 149

Praise the Lord!

Sing to the Lord a new song,
His praise among His faithful people.

Let Israel rejoice in their Maker,
let the children of Zion be glad in their King.

Let them praise His name with dancing,
and make music to Him with tambourine and harp.

For the Lord delights in His people,
He crowns the humble with salvation.

Let the faithful rejoice in this honor,
and sing for joy even in their rest.

May the praises of God be on their lips,
and His truth be their strength.

To bring justice where it is needed,
to shine His light in the darkness,

To lift the burdened and set them free,
for the Lord’s will is love and righteousness.

This is the joy of His people,
this is the song of those who serve Him.

Praise the Lord!
