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.

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

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; Let the sons of Zion 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 the dance; Let them praise him with the timbrel and harp!

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 beautify the distressed with salvation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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