Psalm 149

1. Praise ye the Lord.

Sing unto the Lord a new song,

and his praise in the congregation of saints.

2. Let Israel rejoice in him that made him:

let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

3. Let them praise his name in the dance:

let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.

4. For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people:

he will beautify the meek with salvation.

5. Let the saints be joyful in glory:

let them sing aloud upon their beds.

6. Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,

and a twoedged sword in their hand;

7. to execute vengeance upon the heathen,

and punishments upon the people;

8. to bind their kings with chains,

and their nobles with fetters of iron;

9. to execute upon them the judgment written:

this honour have all his saints.

Praise ye the Lord.
