Psalm 149:7-9
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

7 To bring retribution on the nations,
    punishment on the peoples,(A)
8 To bind their kings in shackles,
    their nobles in chains of iron,
9 To execute the judgments decreed for them—
    such is the glory[a] of all God’s faithful.
Hallelujah!
