Psalms 149

1 Praise ye Jehovah. Sing to Jehovah a new song, and his praise in the assembly of the sanctified.

Praise ye the Lord. Sing ye vnto the Lord a newe song: let his prayse be heard in the Congregation of Saints.

2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made him. Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.

Let Israel reioyce in him that made him, and let ye children of Zion reioyce in their King.

3 Let them praise his name in the dance. Let them sing praises to him with timbrel and harp.

Let them prayse his Name with the flute: let them sing prayses vnto him with the timbrell and harpe.

4 For Jehovah takes pleasure in his people. He will beautify the meek with salvation.

For the Lord hath pleasure in his people: he will make the meeke glorious by deliuerance.

5 Let the sanctified exult in glory. Let them sing for joy upon their beds.

Let ye Saints be ioyfull with glorie: let them sing loud vpon their beddes.

6 The high praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand

Let the high Actes of God bee in their mouth, and a two edged sword in their hands,

7 to execute vengeance upon the nations, and punishments upon the peoples,

To execute vengeance vpon the heathen, and corrections among the people:

8 to bind their kings with chains, and their ranking men with fetters of iron,

To binde their Kings in chaines, and their nobles with fetters of yron,

9 to execute upon them the judgment written. All his sanctified have this honor. Praise ye Jehovah.

That they may execute vpon them the iudgement that is written: this honour shall be to all his Saintes. Prayse ye the Lord.
