Psalms 149:9

7 to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,

8 to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with shackles of iron,

to execute the judgment written against them. This honor is for all His saints. Hallelujah!

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
