Psalms 149

1 Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, [and] his praise in the congregation of saints.

Hallelujah. Sing to the Lord a new song, sound his praise where the faithful are gathered.

2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

Let Israel rejoice in its maker, sons of Zion 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, making music with lyre and with timbrel.

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

For the Lord delights in his people, adorning the humble with victory.

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

Let the faithful exult and extol him with glad ringing cries all night long.

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

High praises of God in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand:

7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, [and] punishments upon the people;

on the heathen to execute vengeance, and chastisement sore on the nations,

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

binding their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron,

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

to execute on them the doom that is written. This is the glory of all his faithful. Hallelujah.
