Psalms

Chapter 149

  1. 1

    Sing the Lord a new song; here, where the faithful gather, let his praise be heard.

  2. 2

    In him, the maker of Israel, let Israel triumph; for him, the ruler of Sion, let Sion’s children keep holiday;

  3. 3

    let there be dancing in honour of his name, music of tambour and of harp, to praise him.

  4. 4

    Still the Lord shews favour to his people, still he relieves the oppressed, and grants them victory.

  5. 5

    In triumph let thy faithful servants rejoice, rejoice and take their rest.

  6. 6

    Ever on their lips they bear the high praise of God, ever in their hands they carry two-edged swords,

  7. 7

    ready to take vengeance upon the heathen,

  8. 8

    to curb the nations, to chain the kings, and bind princes in fetters of iron.

  9. 9

    Long since their doom is written; boast it is of his true servants that doom to execute. Alleluia.
