< Psalms 149 >
1 Hallelujah. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and His praise in the assembly of the saints.
Praise ye the Lord. Sing ye vnto the Lord a newe song: let his prayse be heard in the Congregation of Saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
Let Israel reioyce in him that made him, and let ye children of Zion reioyce in their King.
3 Let them praise His name in the dance; let them sing praises unto Him with the timbrel and harp.
Let them prayse his Name with the flute: let them sing prayses vnto him with the timbrell and harpe.
4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in His people; He adorneth the humble with salvation.
For the Lord hath pleasure in his people: he will make the meeke glorious by deliuerance.
5 Let the saints exult in glory; let them sing for joy upon their beds.
Let ye Saints be ioyfull with glorie: let them sing loud vpon their beddes.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;
Let the high Actes of God bee in their mouth, and a two edged sword in their hands,
7 To execute vengeance upon the nations, and chastisements upon the peoples;
To execute vengeance vpon the heathen, and corrections among the people:
8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
To binde their Kings in chaines, and their nobles with fetters of yron,
9 To execute upon them the judgment written; He is the glory of all His saints. Hallelujah.
That they may execute vpon them the iudgement that is written: this honour shall be to all his Saintes. Prayse ye the Lord.
