Psalms 149

1 Praise JAH. Sing to Jehovah a new song, his praise in the assembly of the faithful ones.

Praise ye the Lord. Sing ye vnto the Lord a newe song: let his prayse be heard in the Congregation of Saints.

2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the people of Zion be joyful in their King.

Let Israel reioyce in him that made him, and let ye children of Zion reioyce in their King.

3 Let them praise his name in the dance. Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp.

Let them prayse his Name with the flute: let them sing prayses vnto him with the timbrell and harpe.

4 For Jehovah takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.

For the Lord hath pleasure in his people: he will make the meeke glorious by deliuerance.

5 Let the faithful ones rejoice in glory. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

Let ye Saints be ioyfull with glorie: let them sing loud vpon their beddes.

6 May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand;

Let the high Actes of God bee in their mouth, and a two edged sword in their hands,

7 To execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;

To execute vengeance vpon the heathen, and corrections among the people:

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

To binde their Kings in chaines, and their nobles with fetters of yron,

9 to execute on them the written judgment. All his faithful ones have this honor. Praise JAH.

That they may execute vpon them the iudgement that is written: this honour shall be to all his Saintes. Prayse ye the Lord.
