Psalms 149

1 Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD a new song— His praise in the assembly of the godly.

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 their Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice 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 with dancing, and make music to Him with tambourine and harp.

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

4 For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He adorns the afflicted with salvation.

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

5 Let the saints exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.

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

6 May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a double-edged sword in their hands,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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