Psalms

Chapter 149

  1. 1

    Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

    Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.

  4. 4

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

  5. 5

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

  6. 6

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

  7. 7

    To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;

  8. 8

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

  9. 9

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