Psalms 149:1-3

Psalm 149

149:1 Praise the Lord!

Sing to the Lord a new song!

Praise him in the assembly of the godly!

149:2 Let Israel rejoice in their Creator!

Let the people of Zion delight in their king!

149:3 Let them praise his name with dancing!

Let them sing praises to him to the accompaniment of the tambourine and harp!


sn Psalm 149. The psalmist calls upon God’s people to praise him because he is just and avenges them.

tn Heb “his praise in the assembly of the godly ones.”

tn Heb “sons.”

sn The Lord is the king here, as the parallelism in the previous line (“their creator”) indicates.
