Psalms

Chapter 149

  1. 1

    Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song. His praise is in the Church of the saints.

  2. 2

    Let Israel rejoice in him who made them, and let the sons of Zion exult in their king.

  3. 3

    Let them praise his name in chorus. Let them sing psalms to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

  4. 4

    For the Lord is well pleased with his people, and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.

  5. 5

    The saints will exult in glory. They will rejoice upon their couches.

  6. 6

    The exultations of God will be in their throat, and two-edged swords will be in their hands:

  7. 7

    to obtain vindication among the nations, chastisements among the peoples,

  8. 8

    to bind their kings with shackles and their nobles with manacles of iron,

  9. 9

    to obtain judgment over them, as it has been written. This is glory for all his saints. Alleluia.
