Read Psalm 149

1 Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance! Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp!
4 For the LORD takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.
5 Let the saints rejoice in honour. Let them sing for joy on their beds.
6 May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand,
7 to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;
8 to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9 to execute on them the written judgement. All his saints have this honour. Praise the LORD!
