Psalms 149

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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