Psalms 149

1 Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: let his praise be in the church of the saints.

Praise ye the LORD! Sing unto the LORD a new song; His praise in the assembly of the godly!

2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: and let the children of Sion be joyful in their king.

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their king!

3 Let them praise his name in choir: let them sing to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

Let them praise his name in the dance; Let them praise 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 will beautify the distressed with salvation.

5 The saints shall rejoice in glory: they shall be joyful in their beds.

Let the godly-rejoice in their glory; Let them shout for joy upon their beds!

6 The high praise of God shall be in their mouth: and two-edged swords in their hands:

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

7 To execute vengeance upon the nations, chastisements among the people:

To execute vengeance upon the nations, And punishment upon the peoples!

8 To bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron.

To bind their kings with chains. And their nobles with fetters of iron;

9 To execute upon them the judgment that is written: this glory is to all his saints. Alleluia.

To execute upon them the sentence which is written: This honor have all his godly ones. Praise ye the LORD!
