Psalms 149:5-9

⁵Let the faithful celebrate how he honors them; let them sing happily even from their beds.

⁶May their praises of God always be on their lips, a double-edged sword in their hands,

⁷ready to take revenge on the nations, to punish the foreign peoples,

⁸to imprison their kings in shackles and their leaders in iron chains,

⁹to impose the judgment decreed against them. This is an honor for all his faithful followers. Praise the Lord!
