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.

Hallelujah. Sing unto the Lord a new song, his praise in the congregation of the pious.

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

Let Israel rejoice in his Maker: let the children of Zion exult 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 the dance: with the timbrel and harp let them sing praises unto him.

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

For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people; he will adorn the meek with salvation.

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

Let the pious be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their couches.

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

The exalted praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword is in their hand;

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

To execute vengeance on the nations, and chastisements on the people:

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

To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters 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 [which is] written: this is an honor for all his pious servants. Hallelujah.
