Psalms 149
1 Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song: his praise is in the assembly of the saints.
Praise ye the LORD! Sing unto the LORD a new song; His praise in the assembly of the godly!
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; and let the children of Sion exult in their king.
Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their king!
3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sings praises to him with timbrel and lute.
Let them praise his name in the dance; Let them praise him with the timbrel and harp!
4 For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; and will exalt the meek with salvation.
For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people; He will beautify the distressed with salvation.
5 The saints shall rejoice in glory; and shall exult on their beds.
Let the godly-rejoice in their glory; Let them shout for joy upon their beds!
6 The high praises of God shall be in their throat, and two-edged swords in their hands;
Let the praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand,
7 to execute vengeance on the nations, [and] punishments among the peoples;
To execute vengeance upon the nations, And punishment upon the peoples!
8 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.
To bind their kings with chains. And their nobles with fetters of iron;
To execute upon them the sentence which is written: This honor have all his godly ones. Praise ye the LORD!
