Psalms 149:3

Praise and worshipJoy

1 Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD a new song— His praise in the assembly of the godly.

2 Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.

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

4 For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He adorns the afflicted with salvation.

5 Let the saints exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.
