Psalms 149

1 Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song. His praise is in the Church 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 who made them, and let the sons of Zion 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 chorus. Let them sing psalms to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

Let them praise His name in the dance; let them sing praises unto Him with the timbrel and harp.

4 For the Lord is well pleased with his people, and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.

For the LORD taketh pleasure in His people; He adorneth the humble with salvation.

5 The saints will exult in glory. They will rejoice upon their couches.

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

6 The exultations of God will be in their throat, and two-edged swords will be in their hands:

Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;

7 to obtain vindication among the nations, chastisements among the peoples,

To execute vengeance upon the nations, and chastisements upon the peoples;

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

To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

9 to obtain judgment over them, as it has been written. This is glory for all his saints. Alleluia.

To execute upon them the judgment written; He is the glory of all His saints. Hallelujah.
