Psalms 149
1 Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song: his praise is in the assembly of the 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; and let the children of Sion exult 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 sings praises to him with timbrel and lute.
Let them praise his name in the dance, making music with lyre and with timbrel.
4 For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; and will exalt the meek with salvation.
For the Lord delights in his people, adorning the humble with victory.
5 The saints shall rejoice in glory; and shall exult on their beds.
Let the faithful exult and extol him with glad ringing cries all night long.
6 The high praises of God shall be in their throat, and two-edged swords in their hands;
High praises of God in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand:
7 to execute vengeance on the nations, [and] punishments among the peoples;
on the heathen to execute vengeance, and chastisement sore on the nations,
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.
binding their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron,
to execute on them the doom that is written. This is the glory of all his faithful. Hallelujah.
