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 unto the Lord a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.

2 Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful 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 praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.

4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in His people; He adorneth the humble with salvation.

For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

5 Let the saints exult in glory; let them sing for joy upon their beds.

Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.

6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;

Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;

7 To execute vengeance upon the nations, and chastisements upon the peoples;

To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;

8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

9 To execute upon them the judgment written; He is the glory of all His saints. Hallelujah.

To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord.
