Psalms

Chapter 149

  1. 1

    Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: let his praise be in the church of the saints.

  2. 2

    Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: and let the children of Sion be joyful in their king.

  3. 3

    Let them praise his name in choir: let them sing 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 shall rejoice in glory: they shall be joyful in their beds.

  6. 6

    The high praise of God shall be in their mouth: and two-edged swords in their hands:

  7. 7

    To execute vengeance upon the nations, chastisements among the people:

  8. 8

    To bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron.

  9. 9

    To execute upon them the judgment that is written: this glory is to all his saints. Alleluia.
