< Psalms 149 >
1 Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song: his praise is in the assembly of the saints.
Hallelujah. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and His praise in the assembly of the saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; and let the children of Sion exult in their king.
Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sings praises to him with timbrel and lute.
Let them praise His name in the dance; let them sing praises unto Him with the timbrel and harp.
4 For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; and will exalt the meek with salvation.
For the LORD taketh pleasure in His people; He adorneth the humble with salvation.
5 The saints shall rejoice in glory; and shall exult on their beds.
Let the saints exult in glory; let them sing for joy upon their beds.
6 The high praises of God shall be in their throat, and two-edged swords in their hands;
Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;
7 to execute vengeance on the nations, [and] punishments amongst the peoples;
To execute vengeance upon the nations, and chastisements upon the peoples;
8 to bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron; to execute on them the judgement written: this honour have all his saints.
To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
To execute upon them the judgment written; He is the glory of all His saints. Hallelujah.
