The Lord Takes Pleasure

Ps 147:11

The Lord takes pleasure in those who reverently {and} worshipfully fear Him, in those who hope in His mercy {and} loving-kindness. Ps 148:14 He has lifted up a horn for His people [giving them power, prosperity, dignity, and preeminence], a song of praise for all His godly ones, for the people of Israel, who are near to Him. Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!) Ps 149:1 PRAISE THE Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, praise Him in the assembly of His saints! Ps 149:2 Let Israel rejoice in Him, their Maker; let Zion's children triumph {and} be joyful in their King! Ps 149:3 Let them praise His name in chorus {and} choir {and} with the [single or group] dance; let them sing praises to Him with the tambourine and lyre! Ps 149:4 For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; x2 He will beautify the humble with salvation {and} adorn the wretched with victory.
