Psalms 149

1 Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song. His praise is in the Church of the saints.

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

2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made them, and let the sons of Zion exult in their king.

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

3 Let them praise his name in chorus. Let them sing psalms to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

Let them praise his name in choir: let them sing to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

4 For the Lord is well pleased with his people, and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.

For the Lord is well pleased with his people: and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.

5 The saints will exult in glory. They will rejoice upon their couches.

The saints shall rejoice in glory: they shall be joyful in their beds.

6 The exultations of God will be in their throat, and two-edged swords will be in their hands:

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

7 to obtain vindication among the nations, chastisements among the peoples,

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

8 to bind their kings with shackles and their nobles with manacles of iron,

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

9 to obtain judgment over them, as it has been written. This is glory for all his saints. Alleluia.

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