< Psalms 149 >

1 Hallelujah. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and His praise in the assembly of the saints.
Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song: his praise is in the assembly of the 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; and let the children of Sion exult 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 sings praises to him with timbrel and lute.
4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in His people; He adorneth the humble with salvation.
For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; and will exalt the meek with salvation.
5 Let the saints exult in glory; let them sing for joy upon their beds.
The saints shall rejoice in glory; and shall exult on their beds.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;
The high praises of God shall be in their throat, and two-edged swords in their hands;
7 To execute vengeance upon the nations, and chastisements upon the peoples;
to execute vengeance on the nations, [and] punishments among the peoples;
8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
to bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron; to execute on them the judgment written: this honor have all his saints.
9 To execute upon them the judgment written; He is the glory of all His saints. Hallelujah.
