Psalm 149
Praise for God’s Goodness to Israel
Praise the Lord!
Sing to the Lord a new song,
his praise in the assembly of the faithful.
Let Israel be glad in its Maker;
let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.
Let them praise his name with dancing,
making melody to him with tambourine and lyre.
For the Lord takes pleasure in his people;
he adorns the humble with victory.
Let the faithful exult in glory;
let them sing for joy on their couches.
Let the high praises of God be in their throats
and two-edged swords in their hands,
to execute vengeance on the nations
and punishment on the peoples,
to bind their kings with fetters
and their nobles with chains of iron,
to execute on them the judgement decreed.
This is glory for all his faithful ones.
Praise the Lord!
Reflection
All the saints gather as one.
All saints in time and space gather.
Gather to praise and sing a song.
A song of eternal praise to our God.
Hear O God the song of praise.
Hear O Lord the melody of glory.
A song of love and salvation.
A tune of honor and glory to you.
Hear a new song in your honor, O Lord.
A song of the redeemed to you our Maker.
You, O Lord, are Maker and Redeemer.
You have made us your people unique.
We glorify you in all that you have done.
We serve you in all that you desire.
Hear the instruments praise you in melody.
Hear the strange sounds of love and salvation.
May the horn bring delight to you and honor your power.
May the flute sing of your love.
Your humble gather and lift their voices to you.
And sing to you our only God.
Glory to you our Maker.
Praise to you Redeemer.
Father of Love and Salvation.
Honor and power to you O Spirit.
Hear your saints and all heavens,
Sing to you O Lord, our God.
Prayer
Lord, as I lift my voice in praise to you, may all the heavenly saints and hosts above join in a praise of glory and honor and power to you with full force, with full accompaniment. Hear the song of the redeemed... today... tomorrow... and forever. --- Amen
